AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – The Salvation Army is seeking the community’s help in reaching its $235,000 goal for this year’s Red Kettle Campaign.
With just a few days left of bell ringing, the Salvation Army of Augusta is $50,000 short of its goal.
The Salvation Army says the final days are crucial to closing the gap.
Funds raised through the campaign are essential to supporting programs that serve the community year-round, including the Center of Hope. An average of 80 individuals find shelter nightly and 200 meals are served daily at the Center of Hope.
“The Red Kettle Campaign is vital to our ability to help those in need throughout the year,” said Area Commander of the Salvation Army of Augusta Jonathan Raymer.
The Salvation Army urges everyone to stop by a red kettle location or donate online. Every contribution fuels the organization’s ability to provide shelter, meals, and hope to individuals and families in need.
“We are calling on our community to help us bridge the gap in these final days. Together, we can make a difference for those who rely on our services,” said Raymer.
Red Kettles can be found at Bass Pro, Belk, Food Lion, Hobby Lobby, Kroger, Sam’s Club and Walmart locations in Augusta, Evans, Grovetown, Hephzibah, North Augusta, Thomson and Waynesboro.
Donations can also be made online at donateaugusta.com.
