$30,000 Red Kettle Match

About the event

The Salvation Army is excited to announce a final $30,000 Red Kettle Match on December 22 and 23, thanks to the incredibly generous donation of an anonymous donor in Rochester, MN! 

To make a gift in support of this match, community members can put cash or a check into any red kettle in Olmsted County, use the tip tap machines on six of the 21 red kettle stands across the community, or make a gift online at RochesterSA.org. 

Bell ringers are critical to the success of the Red Kettle Campaign every year, and a red kettle that is not manned by a volunteer, even on a match day, will typically raise less than a dollar. Whereas, the red kettles that are manned by volunteers can raise well over $100 an hour. To register to ring a bell during the match, please visit registertoring.com. 

The Salvation Army would like to extent our heartfelt gratitude to the generous donors who are facilitating this match, and to every person whose contributed to the kettles this season. God Bless you all, and Merry Christmas!
