Our annual Christmas Campaign has always been an invitation to come together as one community, to make a meaningful impact.

Our annual Christmas Campaign has always been an invitation to come together as one community, to make a meaningful impact.

When you give to The Salvation Army of Fond du Lac, you’re not just donating - you’re investing in transformation. Your support helps families stay housed, individuals recover from addiction, and children thrive. Your gift fuels programs that stabilize families, empower individuals, and build a stronger, more resilient community. It’s not just about the number of meals served or coats distributed - it’s about the lives changed, the hope restored, and the futures rebuilt.

Here are some ways you can spread kindness

Donate Now

Fill Bags of Hope
