Huntsville Salvation Army seeks bell ringers and volunteers for Angel Tree campaign

The Salvation Army in Huntsville is seeking volunteers for its largest fundraisers of the year.

The Red Kettle and Angel Tree campaigns are in full swing this holiday season. The campaigns provide vital support to local individuals and families facing crises throughout the year.

“If you’ve never volunteered with The Salvation Army, now is the perfect time to dive in! You’ll be part of something special, making a meaningful impact on so many lives this holiday season,” Major Richard Watts, Commanding Officer of The Salvation Army, said in a news release.

“We’ve got options for everyone, whether you’ve only got an hour, a morning, or a full day to spare,” he said.

The Salvation Army needs volunteers to ring its iconic red bells for the annual Red Kettle Campaign, one of the Army’s primary fundraising efforts.

Every dollar dropped into the red kettles supports a wide array of local services and programs, including food assistance, shelter assistance, emergency financial assistance, youth programs, senior programs, and more. This year’s goal aims to raise $150,000 to help meet the increased needs in the community, the release said.
