Salvation Army kicks off Red Kettle Campaign with events across the Valley

The Salvation Army is launching its 101st annual Red Kettle Campaign this weekend with kickoff events across the Valley. The organization aims to raise funds for homeless shelters, food pantries, and holiday assistance programs. Last year, the campaign provided significant support to thousands of families. Official launch events are scheduled in Bridgewater, Waynesboro, and Staunton, featuring community leaders and musical performances to encourage donations for the upcoming holiday season.
