MARION, OH (MARION COUNTY NOW)—The Salvation Army has launched a new, streamlined way for volunteers to sign up for its iconic Red Kettle Campaign. This year, the organization has introduced an online platform, Register to Ring, making it easier than ever for individuals and groups to participate in the annual bell-ringing tradition.

The new system allows volunteers to select their preferred dates, times, and locations with just a few clicks. By visiting RegisterToRing.com, users can create an account, choose whether they are ringing as individuals or as part of a group, and schedule their shifts. The platform also offers an option for virtual ringing, where participants can raise funds online without physically ringing a bell.

The Red Kettle Campaign, a longstanding holiday tradition, raises funds to support the Salvation Army’s various programs, including food assistance, shelter, and disaster relief. Volunteers play a crucial role in the campaign’s success by ringing bells at various locations and encouraging donations from passersby.

The new online sign-up system is expected to increase volunteer participation by providing a user-friendly and efficient way to get involved.
