Bell Ringing Begins

About the event

Ringing The Salvation Army bell and collecting donations is a simple yet powerful way to make a difference in our community. Donations in the Red Kettle stay local—directly impacting the lives of your neighbors by helping them in times of need. When you ring the bell, you’re making change happen.

Our iconic Red Kettles will be out in the community at Winnebago County locations from November 14, 2025 through December 24, 2025. Time slots for bell ringers are available from 11:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m., Mondays through Saturdays. Register to ring today by visiting registertoring.com.

By volunteering even just two hours of your time, you can raise enough money to feed a family of four for an entire week. 

You can also help brighten the holidays by fundraising or donating through our Virtual Red Kettle.
