The Salvation Army

• The Red Kettle Challenge offers a new twist to the traditional Red Kettles seen at Christmas to raise funds for those in need in Frederick. With more people facing hardship this year, the need to serve those most vulnerable is greater than ever. Our ability to raise vital funds to serve those in need this Christmas and beyond is at risk due to the impact of COVID-19.  To help meet the increased need, we’re making it safer and simpler than ever for people to donate to The Salvation Army. The amount we raise with Kettles will directly affect how many families we can serve throughout the coming year. Help us bring hope to individuals and families who are struggling. We need individuals, companies, schools and churches to accept the challenge of having their own online Red Kettle – then make plans to raise $1,000 with their kettle.
