Salvation Army Red Kettle Run

The Salvation Army Red Kettles. Kettles are the most visible and remembered part of The Salvation Army's Christmas Season. We are constantly in need of bell ringers at all Worship and Service Centers to stand outside local merchants and ring the bell for donations to help the needy. The Christmas Kettle (also referred to as the Red Kettle due to its color) is The Salvation Army's most famous street campaign. It is most recognized during the Christmas season through its volunteers who stand outside of businesses and play or sing Christmas carols, or ring bells to inspire passersby to place donations of cash and checks inside the trademark red kettles.

The Christmas Kettle (also referred to as the Red Kettle due to its color) is The Salvation Army's most famous street campaign. It is most recognized during the Christmas season through its volunteers who stand outside of businesses and play or sing Christmas carols, or ring bells to inspire passersby to place donations of cash and checks inside the trademark red kettles.

History[edit]

A tradition on the 'kettle' started in 1891, in San Francisco, by Salvation Army officer Captain Joseph McFee.[1] Download carquest cq1000cr owners manual. Captain McFee, resolving to provide a free Christmas dinner to the poor of San Francisco, remembered a sight he saw in Liverpool, England. From his days as a sailor McFee remembered a large pot displayed on the Stage Landing, called 'Simpson's Pot.' The pot took in donations put in by passersby. Taking this idea, McFee asked for permission from San Francisco city authorities to place a crab pot and tripod at the Oakland ferry landing. The kettle - and McFee's call of 'Keep the Pot Boiling!' - drew in passengers and donations.[2]

  • Terrell Owens (on the Thanksgiving Day 2006 (November 23) game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, after catching a pass for a touchdown, dropped the ball into the kettle, donating the ball to the Salvation Army),
  • Ezekiel Elliott (on December 18, 2016, also against Tampa Bay, after scoring a rushing touchdown jumped into the kettle)
  • Elliott again on two occasions during the Thanksgiving Day 2018 (November 22) game against the Washington Redskins, first after scoring a touchdown dropped $21 (his number) into the kettle; later when teammate Dak Prescott scored Elliott dropped Prescott into the kettle.

Anonymous donations[edit]

A tradition has developed in the United States where, in some places, gold coins are anonymously inserted into the kettles in which the bell ringers collect donations. The tradition appears to have started in the Midwest when the first known drop of a gold coin was put into a kettle in Crystal Lake, Illinois in 1982.[3]

Campaign

Since this drop, many others have taken to dropping not only gold coins,[4] but also other bullion and rare coins, gold medals,[5] jewelry, and large checks. The anonymous donations have included:

  • Various bullion and rare coins:
    • American Gold Eagle[3][6]
    • Krugerrand[3][7]
    • United States Quarter Eagle[3]
    • United States Double Eagle[8]
    • Counterfeit 1804 dollar[3]
  • Jewelry
    • ⅓-carat diamond ring[3]
    • Five gold rings (invoking the song The Twelve Days of Christmas)
  • Checks for $14,845.00[3] and for $500,000.00[9]
  • Gold teeth[10]
