Special to Independent Newsmedia
The Glendale Corps of The Salvation Army is in urgent need of volunteers to help kick off this year’s Red Kettle Campaign.
Red Kettles will be placed at locations throughout Glendale from Friday, Nov. 17 through Saturday, Dec. 23. Cheerful bell ringers are needed to bring joy to shoppers and to serve as a reminder that many in need struggle during the holiday season.
Paid, full-time shifts are available 10:30 a.m. through 6:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays. Get paid $13.85 per hour to ring a bell and smile.
For seasonal work inquiries, contact Major Ellen Oh at ellen.oh@usw.salvationarmy.org or call 415-470-1758.
The Glendale Corps is located at 6010 W. Northern Ave.
When did the Red Kettle campaign first begin?
The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle program dates back to 1891 with a goal of providing a free Christmas dinner to those in need. The tradition continues to this day, and services have expanded to include things like utilities assistance, addiction-recovery programming, disaster/heat relief, and school supply and toy drives.
How will Red Kettle donations be used?
The Glendale Corps of the Salvation Army proudly serves communities in Glendale. In 2022, the Glendale Corps passed out nearly 15,000 toys to more than 2,400 children. And the Salvation Army red kettles, accompanied by the bell ringing, were placed at 25 locations across Glendale.
Last year, Glendale red kettle donations topped $119,000, money that was used throughout the year to support charitable giving including the Glendale Corps food pantry and other programs.
