Join the Red Kettle Tradition

The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign is more than a fundraiser—it’s a community movement. Every donation, volunteer hour, and shared moment supports families in need all year long. Whether you volunteer to ring the bell, host a Virtual Red Kettle, or donate directly, your contribution brings hope to Central Ohio.

Volunteer to Ring the Bell

Help us cover over 20,000 hours of bell ringing this season and make a real difference in Central Ohio. The Red Kettle Campaign is The Salvation Army’s single largest fundraiser, and the funds raised support essential, year-round programming for families and individuals in need.

  • Who can volunteer? Individuals, families, churches, businesses, and community groups—everyone is welcome!
  • Dates and Times: November 15th through December 24th, Monday to Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
  • Locations: Choose from over 80 convenient spots throughout Central Ohio.
  • It’s easy and fun: A great way to spread holiday cheer while making an impact.
  • More Questions? Visit our Bell Ringer FAQ page to learn more.
