Need Knows No Season - Join The Salvation Army Traverse City Christmas In July campaign

Jun 7, 2021

THANK YOU! We are grateful to everyone who generously donated, volunteered, sponsored, and hosted Red Kettles
during the Christmas in July campaign over the weekend! We are overwhelmed by the incredible response of the Traverse City and Glen Arbor Communities! The Christmas in July campaign raised $10,580.91!

Celebrate Christmas in July with
The Salvation Army Traverse City

The celebration of miracles, hope, family, and community happens every day in our community, not just during the Christmas season. We have seen it clearly throughout the past year – neighbors opening their hearts, embracing and uplifting those who are struggling to care for themselves and their families through their support.

Need Knows No Season! That is why The Salvation Army is inviting the community to show their support during the Christmas in July Red Kettle Campaign, July 23 & 24.

The Christmas in July Red Kettle Campaign provides critical funds to allow The Salvation Army Traverse City to feed hungry hearts and souls, assist with utilities, help individuals and families stay in their homes, provide area children and youth the opportunity to attend camp and explore God’s creation, help families break the cycle of poverty one step at a time through the Pathway of Hope program and meet critical and emergency needs of our neighbors during their time of need.

Our goal is to raise $10,000! 100% of donations collected stay local, for local programs, to help local individuals and families.

Join the Fight for Good!
