Salvation Army Faces Red Kettle Crisis and Shortage Threatens Services
The familiar sound of bells ringing outside stores during the holidays is at risk of being silenced this year.
The Salvation Army in Grants Pass and Medford is facing a critical shortage of volunteers for its annual Red Kettle Campaign and the impact could be devastating for local families in need.
Without enough volunteers to staff kettle stands, the funds raised to support vital programs and services will fall short. The donations collected through the kettles provide essential services including food, shelter and assistance for individuals and families struggling to make ends meet.
Last year, donations from the Red Kettle Campaign supported some 7,000 local families with critical services. Without more volunteers, many kettles will sit unmanned, leaving those donations -- and the hope they bring -- uncollected.
With just a few hours of your time, you can make a huge difference for those in need. Sign up now at "RegisterToRing.com" or call the Salvation Army in Grants Pass or Medford to lend a hand.
Together, we can keep the bells ringing and ensure that no one is left behind this holiday season.
