ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (KQTV) — The Salvation Army is set to kick off its annual Red Kettle Campaign at stores around St. Joseph.
The Campaign will begin on Thursday, Nov. 7 and will continue until Tuesday, Dec. 23.
Volunteers will begin ringing bells at more than five locations in the community, including Hy-Vee, Price Chopper and Sam’s Club. Community members interested in volunteering should call Megan Smith at 816-232-5824.
“Every bell that rings outside a storefront reminds the community that hope and kindness are still alive,” said Emily Bravo, social services director with The Salvation Army. “Our volunteers bring joy to every passerby and make a very real difference for families who rely on our programs.”
The money collected during the 2025 Red Kettle Campaign will support Salvation Army programs in St. Joseph for the entire year. These programs include: emergency shelter, food pantry, youth and senior programs and disaster response.
