The Red Kettle campaign raises funds to support people in our local communities. The Salvation Army in Northeast and Northwest Ohio aims to raise $3.6 million to fund programs like food pantries, rent and utility assistance, after-school learning, and hot meal programs.
 
The Salvation Army’s Red Kettles have been in operation since 1891 to help those in need. The Kettle campaign is one of the longest-lasting and most recognizable efforts.
