With Christmas Eve falling on a Sunday this year, The Salvation Army’s annual Red Kettle Campaign will wrap up a day early, on Saturday, Dec. 23.
Helping to make the most of this final day of bell ringing is Huntington Bank, which is stepping up to sponsor a Red Kettle in Fishers and match all donations made that day up to $2,500. Last-minute Christmas shoppers can stop by the Kroger Marketplace at 11700 Olio Road to drop a donation in the Red Kettle before it disappears for another year.
Donations made to this Red Kettle supports The Salvation Army’s Harbor Light Center in Indianapolis, which provides life-changing and life-saving addiction treatment programs to adult men and women from across Indiana. Funds raised in November and December of this year will help to keep this essential program operating through 2024 so that more Hoosiers can break the chains of addiction and rebuild their lives.
“We are so grateful to Huntington Bank for their support during our Red Kettle Campaign,” said Dr. Alicia Hoskins, Executive Director at the Harbor Light Center. “Their generosity of $2,500 will help provide food, housing, clinical treatment, and medical care to individuals battling homelessness and addiction. Thank you for your kindness and compassion to serve those in need.”
For those wishing to support The Salvation Army’s ongoing efforts, there are many options available:
- Visit a Red Kettle and make a cash donation or use your smart phone or smart watch to donate with a credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo, or PayPal.
