Volunteer today! Be A Bell Ringer

Is this your first time ringing bells at The Salvation Army's iconic red kettles? Or, maybe you'd like a quick refresher on best practices? Bell ringing – and donating to a Red Kettle – looks a little different this year. All our bell ringers are required to wear masks and use hand sanitizer, answer a health questionnaire before their shift, keep distant from donors, and sanitize the kettles regularly. Our touchless kettle pay technology allows donors a completely contact-free way to Do the Most Good this Christmas. 

Registration is open Friday, October 1, and will close Wednesday, December 23rd.
Bellringing timeslots are available to volunteers Monday, November 8th - Friday, December 24th.

During the final week of bell ringing, please contact your local corps to confirm the final date for registration. Our locations are listed below.

If you have questions or would like to set up special groups or competitions, call 773-205-3574.
