Caldwell Salvation Army to Kick Off Red Kettle Campaign at College of Idaho Basketball Game

CALDWELL, Idaho — The Salvation Army Caldwell Corps will kick off its annual Red Kettle Campaign on Friday, November 6, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. during the nationally ranked College of Idaho men's basketball game.

The community is invited to attend the game, help celebrate the start of the holiday fundraising season, and learn how to get involved in this year's campaign.

As part of the kickoff, Zions Bank will present a $500 donation in support of The Salvation Army's efforts to help individuals and families in need throughout the holiday season and beyond.

The Red Kettle Campaign is an annual tradition that raises funds to support The Salvation Army's local programs and services. Community members can make a difference by donating to the kettles or volunteering their time to ring bells at local collection sites throughout the holiday season.

“Our Red Kettle Campaign is one of the ways our community comes together to help our neighbors in need. Whether it's volunteering for a shift, making a donation, or encouraging someone else to get involved, every effort helps us continue serving our local families.”

— Captain Amy Lewis, Corps Officer

Community members interested in volunteering are encouraged to sign up for a bell-ringing shift. Individuals, families, businesses, and community groups are welcome to participate.
