About the event

Join The Salvation Army at the Apache Mall in Rochester, MN Friday, November 13 as we kick off our annual Christmas Campaign!

This date marks the first day of the red kettles being open to bell ringers across Olmsted County, and the first day of Christmas gift collection for children in need.

Follow the sound of Christmas carols being played by The Salvation Army band from the sharing tree at the center of the mall. We'll have a few words from our leadership, before counting down with everyone present to officially light the tree for the holiday season. 

The sharing tree in the Apache Mall will serve as a collection site for gifts donated to The Salvaiton Army from November 13 through Christmas Eve. 

For any questions about donating Christmas gifts, signing up to ring bells, or volunteering throughout the Christmas season, please visit RochesterSA.org or call 507-288-3663.
