Ring the Kettle Bells!
2025-11-19 - 2025-12-24 | IN
During this Christmas season we are asking you to give the gift of your time – not your money. By signing up for just a two-hour bell-ringing shift this holiday season, you can help us reach our goals (on average a volunteer ringing the bell for just one hour raises enough money to provide 13 meals). Every dollar donated in a red kettle stays in that community, and just two hours at a kettle can help us raise hundreds of dollars!
We need YOU for our bell ringing season which begins early November and ends before Christmas Day. Signing up is easy! Visit RegisterToRing.com, create an account by choosing ‘Ringing as a Group’ or ‘Ringing as an Individual’, type in your city/zip code and select ‘The Salvation Army of Central Indiana.’ From there, you can select a city (Indianapolis, Avon, etc.) and a location (ex. Hobby Lobby, Kroger, Walmart) and find dates and times that best suit your schedule (make sure the beginning date is November 10).
Sign up today and we’ll send you a reminder message a couple days before your scheduled bell ringing session! By ringing the bell, you’ll be spreading joy, lifting spirits, and helping us continue our mission of ‘Doing the Most Good’ one red kettle at a time. Let’s make this kettle season one to remember for everyone in the community. Will you join us?
