Kettle Coordinator - Richland County
About the role
The Salvation Army supports local families every season. Put a present under someone’s tree today. And a roof over someone’s head tomorrow. The donations we collect during the Christmas season not only help us provide gifts to children who would otherwise go without but also help us provide food, shelter, and utility assistance to those who need it most. Brighten Christmas morning. And the hardest nights for hardworking families. Every dollar dropped into a red kettle helps give local families the Christmases they deserve and the yearlong support they so desperately need. Help us carry the spirit of Christmas throughout the year. Apply to be a Kettle Coordinator in your community today!
