SWYHA Supports The Salvation Army 2025 Bell Ringing Campaign
The South Windsor Youth Hockey Association will again participate in The Salvation Army Hartford Area Services Red Kettle campaign.
The Red Kettle initiative is The Salvation Army’s annual fundraising event to support those in need during the holiday season. Over the past 130+ years, The Salvation Army has been ‘ringing bells’ to raise funds for their programs. These programs help families stay warm during the winter, be given a nutrient rich meal, provided clothing and many other life skills and benefits. By our organization lending a helping hand to Ring Bells, we can help provide some of these benefits for those less fortunate. On average, ringing the bell for just one hour raises enough money to provide 13 meals. Volunteer bell ringers like us also raise $30 more per hour than sites without volunteers. Last year, we collected over $1,400 over the two days, as comparison, a very good location may only take in $200-$400 per day!
