INDIANAPOLIS — The Salvation Army is inviting the public to take part in its virtual fundraising campaign this holiday season.
The "Virtual Red Kettle Campaign" launched on Nov. 1 with the goal of raising $250,000 online through peer-to-peer and crowdfunding campaigns.
The communities of Bloomington, Evansville, Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, New Albany, Warsaw and Columbia City are launching peer-to-peer campaigns which allow supporters to create their own virtual red kettle with a personal fundraising goal.
The Salvation Army is encouraging residents, businesses, churches and other organizations to get involved, whether as an individual "virtual bell ringer" or as part of a fundraising team.
The organization said that their traditional red kettles will still make an appearance this holiday season, and volunteers are encouraged to visit RegistertoRing.com to sign up for a two-hour shift.
