The need at Christmas and all-year round continues to be great and The Salvation Army in Belleville is putting out its annual call for support as the holidays draw closer.
Members of Belleville Council joined Salvation Army members for the launch of the 2025 Christmas Kettle Campaign and to make the first donations of the year on Friday outside Century Place.
Volunteers from The Salvation Army will be with kettles across the city leading up to Christmas, giving residents an opportunity to give while they shop.
The theme of the campaign this year is “Hope Beyond Christmas” and the goal is to raise $365,000 by December 24, Christmas Eve, providing hope to families not just during the season of giving, but 365 days a year.
Salvation Army officials say they are confident that they can this reach goal with the generous support from the community of Belleville.
