The Salvation Army is asking everyone in the Yakima Valley to donate to support neighbors in need this holiday season. People can drop cash or checks into a Red Kettle or donate online at northwest.salvationarmy.org. Red Kettle donations help The Salvation Army meet the urgent needs of thousands of families who will not have Christmas this year without the community’s support.

For The Salvation Army Yakima Valley Corps, $66,000 has been raised via Red Kettle contributions, however an additional $70,000 is needed to serve neighbors in need.

“We are working hard to provide food, toys, and clothing to more families across the Northwest this year. In the midst of the growing need, we are seeing fewer people donating at our virtual and physical kettles. We rely on our generous donors to ensure that Christmas joy is given to everyone, no matter their circumstances,” said The Salvation Army Northwest Divisional Commander Lt. Colonel Cindy Foley.

With Christmas only five days away, families are counting on the generosity of the Yakima Valley community to make Christmas bright. Financial support and kindness during the holidays enable The Salvation Army to serve more than 600,000 people across the Northwest throughout the year.

This year, The Salvation Army Northwest Division, spanning across Washington, northern Idaho and western Montana, aspires to raise $3.9 million to help fund vital, lifesaving services such as our Hope Market food pantries, emergency shelters and transitional housing, utility and rental assistance, addiction recovery, and senior and youth programs.
