It’s that season again: the leaves are falling, the holidays are coming, and the Salvation Army’s red kettles will soon be out in force. If you’ve got the holiday spirit but don’t like to carry cash, consider donating with your credit or debit card. You can swipe your card right in person at certain locations, or you can make a donation online at the Salvation Army web site.
Salvation Army members say that this convenient new payment arrangement was put in place to help young adults give more. The organization is also branching out online by incorporating social networks such as Facebook.
The nation's high unemployment rate has caused many families to turn to the charity for aid. The Salvation Army helps feed and clothe 4.5 million people during the holiday season, and they accept donations of money and goods all year long.
The Red Kettle campaign will kick off on Friday, November 13th. To find out more, visit the Salvation Army’s web site today.
