The Salvation Army Western PA Division needs bell ringers to staff its iconic red kettles at local retailers beginning in November for its Rescue Christmas drive.

Physical kettle locations will offer Google and Apple Pay, providing a contactless, safe, and easy way for people to give to those in need.

“The need now is greater than ever, and our dedicated volunteers have a direct impact in helping our neighbors across the region who are struggling, as there is no quarantine from hunger, from homelessness, or from poverty,” said Major Raphael Jackson, divisional commander for the Salvation Army Western PA.

Those who want to give online to this year’s Red Kettle Campaign can already do so at www.salvationarmywpa.org/RescueChristmas.
