BRIDGEWATER, VA (Rocktown Now) — On Saturday, November 8, 2025, at 12:00 PM, The Salvation Army will launch its 2025 Red Kettle Campaign at Bridgewater Foods Supermarket in Bridgewater. At that time Lieutenant Douglas Ingold with invited guests and members of our community, will announce this year’s Red Kettle Campaign goal.

In 2024, the community donated over $177,000 through the Red Kettle Campaign which raises funds to support the organization’s homeless shelter and food pantry, holiday food baskets to families in need and a similar level of assistance is anticipated for this year.

According to a release, volunteers, both groups and individuals, are still needed to help staff the kettles. Those who are interested in volunteering can go to: www.registertoring.com can call 540-830-8819 or email: kettleringing@gmail.com.
