One of the key Salvation Army fundraisers is its famous Red Kettle Campaign. This year, Ligonier’s annual Red Kettle campaign will begin Friday, November 26 and continue to Friday, December 24. Members of Ligonier’s business, government, faith, and non profit communities will all take turns at our local Giant Eagle supermarket soliciting donations for our local Salvation Army office.
If your organization is interested in participating with the Salvation Army’s kettle campaign, or if you or your family would like to sign up for a time slot, contact our local Kettle Campaign Coordinator below.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the money donated to the kettle campaign stay in Ligonier? What will the funds be used for?
The Red Kettle campaign is a local fundraiser. 100% of the donations will be distributed by Ligonier’s Salvation Army branch to those in need in the Ligonier Valley. In the past, the Red Kettle Campaign funds have been used to help those who can’t afford heating in the wintertime through utility bill payment assistance or heating oil purchases. None of the Red Kettle campaign gifts are used for overhead or administrative costs.
What shifts are still available? How long will a shift last?
Hour-long shifts will be available Monday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Organizations are welcome to claim a day to ring the bell and staff it at their own schedules. Individuals are welcome to take an hour-long shift as they are available. Please call our kettle coordinator for more information.
Who is Epiphany Church Ligonier, and what is their relationship to the Red Kettle Campaign?
The Red Kettle Campaign is a nationally organized fundraiser for local Salvation Army offices. It is overseen by the Salvation Army and their volunteers. To ensure the program runs smoothly, Epiphany Church in Ligonier offered to assist the local Salvation Army office with a webpage that was social media friendly and easy to access.
