Salvation Army Red

Kettle Campaign


The Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign is our major fund raiser each year. The campaign is launched in mid November and goes through December 24th. Volunteers sign up to be bell ringers at Walmart or Smith’s. They encourage people to give whatever they can. Young children are delighted to put dollars and coins in the kettle in exchange for a candy cane. All donations are greatly appreciated. 90% of the funds remain in the local community to support the services of the Riverton Help Center.

WyoGives Campaign July 2023-

We are truly grateful for the generosity of all those who donated to the Riverton Help Center through the 5th
Annual WyoGives Initiative on July 13, 2024 sponsored by the Wyoming Nonprofit Network. We had set a goal
of raisiing $5,000 in a 24 hour period. We received $2,490 in online donations and felt that we had been
successful for our first participation in WyoGives. But there was more to come! We more than met our $5,000
goal thanks to $2,490 in online giving and two anonymous checks for $200.00 and one for $5,000! We were
truly so excited, because we exceeded our goal by $2,690! We are so thankful for the community support we
received and are looking forward to continuing to serve those in need in our community! Please check us out
on Facebook and like our page!


Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign 2024

We are thrilled to report that we had another very successful campaign with donations exceeding $15,ooo!! A
huge thank you to all of our bell ringers who donated their time, energy, smiles and Christmas cheer to the
shoppers at Walmart and Smith’s! We also appreciate the generosity of all the people who donated so much to
help support the Riverton Help Center.


New this year for the Red Kettle Campaign, we partnered with Walmart and the Riverton Senior Center to do
an “Senior Angel Tree” at each of the entry doors at Walmart. We placed 100 “angel tags” on the trees and
encouraged shoppers to share the Christmas spirit by selecting a tag from the tree and purchasing the
requested gift. The gifts were taken to the Riverton Center where they were distributed to seniors in our
community. We are pleased to report that it was a huge success with all the tags taken and gifts delivered to the
Senior Center. We received many comments about how much people appreciated our senior citizens being
honored in this way.
