The Salvation Army of Salina is excited to announce the launch of its annual Christmas Kettle Campaign, beginning Friday, November 15, 2024. This cherished holiday tradition helps support vital programs and services in Salina, with 100% of the funds raised staying local to assist individuals and families in need throughout the year.

“We are so grateful for the generosity of our Salina community,” said Lt. Luke Hursh, Corps Officer of The Salvation Army Salina. “Every donation dropped into a kettle helps provide hope and resources to those who need it most.”

The Christmas Kettle Campaign runs Monday through Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., at various locations throughout Salina. Funds raised support programs such as food assistance, emergency housing, utility support, and seasonal aid for struggling families.
