4 Ways Your Donation Makes An Impact

Nov 1, 2016 | by Cory Gaudaur

Did you know last year 3.3 million people across the U.S. needed help during the Christmas season? That’s over 3 million people without food. Without toys for their children. Without a roof over their head.

The Salvation Army is here to feed hungry people, house homeless individuals and families, make Christmas bright and most importantly meet the greatest need around the country. But we can’t do it without you. 

Take a look at just how far your donation can go this Christmas.

$250 provides presents for 10 kids on Christmas morning.

$100 provides 42 warm meals to hungry neighbors.

$50 provides one family with a food box to prepare a holiday meal.

$29 provides a safe place for someone to rest their head for the night. 

As Christmas quickly approaches and you begin to hear the sound of bell ringers at your local stores, know that it is simpler than ever to raise funds for your neighbors in need. Go to www.redkettlereason.org to start your very own fundraising campaign today - and make Christmas brighter.
