The Salvation Army Western PA Division is urging people to give online this week to the Red Kettle Campaign: Rescue Christmas, making its final push to reach its goal of $2.3 million.

The Salvation Army Western PA Division has raised $1,641,340 across 28 counties, or about 72% of its fundraising goal of $2.3 million.

One of the easiest ways to give during the pandemic is by visiting the division’s online Red Kettle at www.salvationarmywpa.org/RescueChristmas and making a donation of any amount. All donations remain in your local community.

Donations can also be made via Apple Pay or Google Pay at a physical red kettle by texting “KETTLES” to 91999, with spare change and cash at a physical red kettle at your local retailer, or by shopping at Walmart and “rounding up” your purchase with a donation at a cash register or online.
