No Salvation Army red kettle in Ada this holiday season

Covid-19 concerns changed this year's drive, however the need remains
Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, December 8, 2020

There will be no Salvation Army red kettle in Ada this holiday season, according to Kathy Reese of the Hardin County Salvation Army.

“This year with the pandemic we had to drastically change our drive,” she told The Icon.

“With our largest red kettle location closing at the end of October, which was the Kenton Kroger, and huge concern about protecting our ringers and givers, we have had to go virtual in 2020,” she said.

In place of an Ada red kettle and all county red kettles, the Hardin drive is a “virtual bells” event.

Reese said that the county Salvation Army board reconsider how best to conduct its red kettle campaign this year.
