Salvation Army to kick off annual 'Red Kettle' campaign with new way to give in Frederick

Some of the iconic Salvation Army red kettles that have collected money for the organization's annual charity drive for over a century are getting a technological upgrade this year to allow donors to give with the tap of a card or phone.

Beginning Nov. 17, the Salvation Army's "Give with Joy" campaign aims to raise $110,000 by Christmas Eve, primarily for the benefit of a homeless day shelter, according to a press release from the organization.
