Elkhart Salvation Army Launches Annual Holiday Campaign With Red Kettle Kickoff Event

The Salvation Army Corps of Elkhart officially begins their
2025 holiday campaign on Friday, November 07, 2025, at the Elkhart Salvation Army Corps 
building located at 300 N Main St, Elkhart, beginning at 11:00 am. The Kettle-Kickoff event is 
open to the public and will feature the sharing of The Army’s mission and impact as well as 
acknowledging the support of community businesses and members. The 2025 campaign goal

Despite new ways to donate, the iconic Red Kettles, surrounded by festive bell ringers,
continue to be a vital part of the Salvation Army’s major fundraising event of the year. 
Proceeds support emergency assistance requests among those in need in Elkhart County as 
well as community-focused programs throughout the whole year. At the Red Kettle stands, 
cash donations are accepted. Donors will also be able to donate using a QR code.
Bell ringers are needed. Those interested can go to www.registertoring.com. Kettle sponsors 
and matching gift donors are also needed to challenge and motivate others to give at all kettle 
locations.
