"We are truly grateful for the compassion and kindness of this community."

This is exactly the kind of story you love to hear about, especially during the Christmas season!

The Duluth Salvation Army is pleased to announce that they have surpassed their red kettle goal for the 2020 holiday season, despite challenges from COVID-19.

The Salvation Army is looking for your help again this year for volunteer bell ringers. This is a great opportunity for groups or organizations to get involved. The Red Kettle Drive raises money for many programs in the area and many people. It ...

I started ringing bell (or shaking maracas) years ago for the Salvation Army of Duluth.  When my daughter Kylee was old enough she rang with me.  It's a great opportunity for family time while teaching your kids the spirit of donating and sharing your time and energy.  As she grew older we morphed to wrapping gifts at the Salvation Army Gift Wrap booth at the mall.

They're at it again!  Volunteering in the community when and where they are needed.  The PIGS Motorcycle Charity Group from Superior will be at the Superior Wal-Mart tomorrow, Wednesday, December 9 ringing bell for the Salvation Army and their red kettle program.

I love stories like this.  We all see the bell ringers donating hours of their time to ring the bells and raise money for the Salvation Army.  It always feels good to make a donation into the red kettles rather than walk right past, but sometimes people go above and beyond the call of duty.
