#RedKettleReason
Every person who has been part of The Salvation Army bell ringing tradition has a reason for participating, whether it is to help out your fellow community members, knowing someone who needs assistance, or having been in a situation to need help at one time yourself. What will be your reason for giving back this year? #RedKettleReason

The Christmas spirit typically brings to mind white glistening snow, sparkling lights and joy in our hearts. However, the celebration of miracles, hope, family and community happens every day in our community, not just during the Christmas season.

Need Knows No Season! That is why The Salvation Army is inviting the community to show their support during our Christmas in July Red Kettle Campaign, July 25-27.

The Christmas in July Red Kettle Campaign provides critical funds to allow The Saginaw Salvation Army to feed hungry hearts and souls, assist with utilities, help individuals and families stay in their homes, provide area children and youth the opportunity to attend camp and explore God’s creation, help families break the cycle of poverty one step at a time through the Pathway of Hope program and meet critical and emergency needs of our neighbors during their time of need.

Our goal is to raise $10,000! 100% of donations collected stay local, for local programs, to help local individuals and families.

Join the Fight for Good!
