Shop Talk

For more than 126 years, people around the world have joined The Salvation Army in helping those who are in need. A simple red kettle and the ringing of a bell have since become synonymous with holiday giving. This year, The Salvation Army is pleased to introduce a new initiative that takes the drive from the streets to the World Wide Web. With the introduction of the Online Red Kettle, the organization continues to promote its message of “Doing The Most Good,” while forging ahead into the continuously growing realm of online giving.

Simple to operate, safe and secure, the Online Red Kettle allows individuals, companies and groups to create and maintain their own virtual kettles without experiencing the winter chill. Registrants are able to customize their kettle pages, set their own fundraising goals and invite friends, family and colleagues to donate or create their own kettles. Donors will have the option of designating their donations to go to a specific Salvation Army Corps, organizational program or zip code.

The fundraising drive has officially started. To learn more about the Online Red Kettle campaign, visit www.onlineredkettle.org.

I have one set up as well right over here: http://sausa.convio.net/goto/jnschooley

Just remember, a little goes a long way.
