CHRISTMAS
Red Kettle Campaign
Volunteer or organize a group of volunteers from your Business, Service Club, Fraternal Group, Family, Friends or Church Group to stand at a local Red Kettle location. You could also choose to stand at a couple of Red Kettles and make a contest of it. The money raised through the Red Kettles go directly to The Salvation Army in Dunkirk, NY to help keep our Social Services department running through 2025 and beyond!
Paper Kettles
The Salvation Army's paper kettle is an alternative to the traditional physical Red Kettle, designed for businesses to collect donations at their point-of-sale terminals. These paper "kettles" are typically displayed at checkout counters, where customers can make a donation by having a specific amount, like $1 or $5, added to their purchase. The business provides a way for their customers to support the Salvation Army's programs without requiring a physical bell ringer or cash donations.
Countertop Kettles
Allow The Salvation Army to place a small Kettle on a front desk, near a register elsewhere in your place of business, or on your dinner table at your Thanksgiving Feast! These would need to be kept in a safe location at your site and would be emptied at the end of the Season, unless otherwise requested.
Food Drives
A traditional food drive allows you to collect food donations. You can involve your family and friends as well as your workplace or other organizations to collect canned food or other non-perishable items. This allows you to make an impact in the fight against hunger. You can drop them off between the hours of 8am-4pm or you can arrange a pick-up by calling the Church. You could also help by collecting turkeys and ham for the holiday season.
