The Salvation Army Red Kettle History
Red Kettles are a cultural icon of Christmas in the US; But every donation put in a kettle ensures that The Salvation Army can continue to help those in need in the Greater Lansing Area throughout the year.
YOUR KETTLE DONATION WILL:
· Put food on the table for those in need.
· Offer personal needs items like shampoo, soap, laundry detergent, or toothpaste.
· Provide hot meals to those experiencing homelessness and facing food insecurity.
· Allow families to keep the heat and lights on in their home.
· Save a family from being evicted.
· Offer a “Pathway of Hope” for families in crisis or despair, looking to build a better life.

Volunteers are the Heart of our Team
The service and commitment of our volunteers enable The Salvation Army to:
Reach out to those facing hardship in our communities.
Be a place of love and support for children.
Make the holidays a time of joy for those in need.
Provide food to families facing a shortage.
Even the smallest tasks, like helping with office or kitchen work, support our mission and help change lives in our community. We can't do it without you!
Thank you for helping us make our community a place of hope!
Current Opportunities
Dinner at the SAL | Each Wednesday and Friday, from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm, we offer a take-out style dinner for our community at the South Corps location at 701 W. Jolly Rd. Volunteers can help prepare food in our kitchen, box food to be given out, serve families when they come to pick up dinner, or help with clean up.
