Holiday Giving
Brightening the holidays for our community
The Salvation Army of Hammond-Munster Corps Community Center Holiday Giving Information
The Salvation Army's mission shines brightest at Christmastime.
And this year, the need is greater than ever.
This year has been hard for hundreds of thousands of families across the country. For those struggling to pay rent or put food on the table after a job loss, Christmas may seem out of reach. You can help The Salvation Army Rescue Christmas by spreading hope, love and joy to the less fortunate members of society. As families gather together to count their blessings, they wish each other glad tidings and experience children's unbridled happiness. From physical needs such as grocery, utility and gift assistance, to emotional experiences including holiday events and traditions, to spiritual guidance that provides healing and hope, The Salvation Army works to assist the whole person through gifts that serve the body, mind and soul.
The Salvation Army brightens the holiday season for those in need
Red Kettles
The iconic Salvation Army red kettles signal the start of the holiday season. Donations collected in these buckets support the services in your neighborhood. Bell ringers are both seasonal employees and volunteers. Register to Ring now. Secure, contactless giving is available with Kettle Pay, but the pandemic means there are fewer red kettles and fewer shoppers out and about. Thankfully you can donate any time you see the tap to pay logos! Plus, from September 16 - January 31st, help brighten the holidays by fundraising or donating through our Virtual Red Kettle.
Angel Tree
When you're struggling financially to care for your family, holiday gifts are often not feasible. The Salvation Army Angel Tree program allows donors to purchase gifts and clothes for families in need, making their holidays brighter. You can shop online from the comfort and safety of your home or opt to shop in-person. In fact, from October 15 - December 11, you may shop our online Walmart Registry for Good Angel Tree. Please consider being an angel for a child, senior, or family in need this Christmas.
Coat & Winter Warmth Drives
We collect new or gently used coats and winter gear for families in need. If your group is interested in hosting a coat or winter warmth drive, please contact indangelTree@usc.salvationarmy.org.
