 Bell Ringing at Red Kettles
One of the most recognized symbols of The Salvation Army is the bell ringer with a Red Kettle standing in front of a grocery store or shopping mall. Each year the Red Kettle effort raises hundreds of thousands of dollars to support all of our social service programs and ministries.
We in Columbus are looking for friendly volunteers to stand at a Kettle and ring a bell for The Salvation Army in Greater Columbus. The Kettle Campaign runs from November 20th through December 24th. There are many days, times and locations available. Volunteers must be at least 13 years old.
The most friendly and entertaining volunteers generally receive the most donations! Bring your dog, sing Christmas carols, or play an instrument! Read our kettle tutorial for more.
If you would like to volunteer at a Kettle, please contact Stephanie Koscher at 614-403-0404 or by email.
You may want to choose a location near you and determine what time (you can usually times from 10 am to 7 pm) you can volunteer. This will make your signup by phone or email quicker and give you more time to ponder your choices. Please check out our locations on Google Docs. Just click this link, and you can search the locations easily! It is sorted by ZIP code.
