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. We received over $16,000 in the 2023 campaign, ​which was awesome! A huge thank you goes out to all our ​bell ringers and all those who generously donated to make it ​such a successful 2023 campaign. Be watching for ​information on the 2024 campaign!
