Socially Distant Ways to Give

Digital donations to The Salvation Army

SOCIALLY DISTANT WAYS TO GIVE... The Salvation Army has CDC and local protocols to protect bell ringers and the public during the pandemic. We respectfully ask that you drop your cash/check donation into the Red Kettle rather than have the bell ringer receive it.

GIVING ELECTRONICALLY is the SAFEST WAY to support our efforts to help those in need this Holiday Season and beyond. Kettle stands are equipped with a QR code for Apple Pay or Google Pay. Or, donate securely online to our virtual Red Kettles at tinyurl.com/PuyallupVirtualRedKettle or in any of the following ways:

• Contribute to our virtual Red Kettle at https://tinyurl.com/PuyallupVi...
