Salvation Army Red Kettle Donation Shortfall
Red Kettle donations are down, families in need are counting on your support this Christmas
The Salvation Army needs everyone's help to support neighbors in need. Your help empowers 663 local families to experience the joy of Christmas. Drop cash or checks into a Red Kettle or donate online: www.puyallupredkettle.org. If you would like to volunteer at a local kettle please register at https://registertoring.com/. Thank you to everyone who has generously donated or volunteered.
"This Christmas we have almost doubled the number of families. Plus, we have increased services by 60% throughout the year. In the midst of the growing need, we are seeing fewer people donating at our virtual and physical kettles. Generous donors ensure Christmas joy is received by everyone no matter their circumstances."
In Puyallup, $105,000 more is needed by Christmas to serve neighbors in need. Families are counting on your generosity to make Christmas bright. Plus, your contributions support more than 53,000 people in Pierce County year round. Neighbors like Scott who unexpectedly found himself a widower with two small children weeks before Christmas. Or, Tracy who lost everything in a house fire. Or Sam who finds a home at The Salvation Army when everyone else has kicked him out because of his disabilities. Thank you for helping neighbors in need.
