The Salvation Army Traverse City Exceeds Red Kettle Campaign Goal
Thanks to Community Support
January 5, 2021, Traverse City, MI, With Christmas behind us and the bells silenced and Red Kettles in for the season the Traverse City Salvation Army Red Kettle wanted to thank the Traverse City community for a year that went beyond their expectations.
Lieutenant Matthew Winters said, “Our Red Kettle Campaign goal this year was $220,000. I am excited to share that our community once again reached deep within and reached out with love for their neighbors - donating $224,050.78. All funds raised from the Red Kettle Campaign stay right here in our community to provide services to our neighbors in their time of need.”
“To everyone who generously donated their time to bell ring, shared their blessings, and hosted Red Kettles, we thank you for embracing our mission and those we have the privilege to serve! Many blessings in 2022.”
