The Red Kettle Challenge comes during The Salvation Army&#8217;s Red Kettle Campaign, one of the oldest and largest charitable campaigns in the world.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s so important that The Salvation Army does everything we can to help our most vulnerable neighbors in need as they face a gauntlet of challenges from inflation and the lingering effects of the pandemic over the last 36 months,&#8221; said Commissioner Hodder. &#8220;Thanks to a generous public, The Salvation Army is able to love beyond the holidays and provide services to more than 25 million people all year long.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The National Commander&#8217;s Red Kettle Challenge is an important fundraising initiative for The Salvation Army&#8217;s holiday season as millions of individuals and families are facing uphill battles of some sort, made harder by the ongoing impacts of the pandemic, inflation, evictions, job loss, natural disasters, and more. With almost two-thirds of people in America \u2013 over 200 million\u2013 living paycheck-to-paycheck, The Salvation Army is committed to providing help and hope to vulnerable people in need not only during the holidays but all-year long.<\/p>\n<p>Every dollar donated to The Salvation Army&#8217;s Red Kettle Campaign stays in local communities, helping vulnerable or struggling neighbors. These donations help The Salvation Army provide a range of social services including shelter, feeding, after-school programs, addiction-recovery programs, summer camps, disaster assistance, and more.<\/p>\n<p>To support your neighbors through your local Salvation Army:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3732288-1&amp;h=455991639&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fc212.net%2Fc%2Flink%2F%3Ft%3D0%26l%3Den%26o%3D3732288-1%26h%3D3625272155%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.salvationarmyusa.org%252Fusn%253Fpid%253Dpress_release%253ANC_Challenge%253A12.9.22%253ARed_Kettle%26a%3DSalavationArmyUSA.org&amp;a=SalavationArmyUSA.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">SalavationArmyUSA.org<\/a>\u00a0and Love Beyond Christmas with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3732288-1&amp;h=3335346339&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fc212.net%2Fc%2Flink%2F%3Ft%3D0%26l%3Den%26o%3D3732288-1%26h%3D532760681%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fgive.salvationarmyusa.org%252Fgive%252F239493%252F%2523!%252Fdonation%252Fcheckout%253Fpid%253Dpress_release%253ANC_Challenge%253A12.9.22%253ARed_Kettle%26a%3Da%2Bsustaining%2Bgift%2Bof%2B%252425%2Bper%2Bmonth&amp;a=a+sustaining+gift+of+%2425+per+month\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">a sustaining gift of <span class=\"xn-money\">$25<\/span> per month<\/a>.
