The 2025 National Commander’s Red Kettle Challenge was a powerful reminder of what happens when generosity is met with joyful service. Across the country, teams from The Salvation Army rallied their communities, rang bells with enthusiasm, and helped shine a light on the hope the Red Kettle brings to families in need.
We are proud to recognize this year’s winning locations:
-
Captains Jason and Kristen Price and their team in Marion
-
Majors Jeffrey and Leticia Croll and their team in Sioux Falls
-
Captains Michael and Kelly Hton and their team in Rochester
These leaders and their communities demonstrated extraordinary commitment, creativity, and compassion throughout the campaign.
To every officer, employee, corporate partner, elected official, advisory board member, and volunteer who rang the bell this season: thank you. Your dedication ensures that critical programs and services continue well beyond the holidays, bringing practical help and renewed hope to neighbors in every community.
We are deeply grateful for all who participated and made this year’s challenge such a meaningful success.
