The Henderson Salvation Army 2025 Kettle Kickoff is scheduled for Friday, November 14th at 10 a.m., taking place at Belk again this year.
Henderson Salvation Army Majors Jonathan and Staci Gainey will be participating in their first Red Kettle Drive here locally since taking over back in June.
Alongside the iconic Salvation Army symbol of giving, the bell ringers invite shoppers to donate during the holiday season to help provide food and gifts to seniors and children across Vance County and the surrounding counties it serves.
This event is also a ribbon cutting event for the Henderson-Vance Chamber of Commerce. At last year’s event, then chair of the Henderson-Vance Chamber of Commerce board, Margier White said the kettles ignite a spirit of generosity in our community. She said, “Each bell that rings this season (is) not just signalling a donation,” it’s a connection that we make with people who are in need.
