DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) — With just 10 days remaining in its annual Red Kettle Campaign, The Salvation Army Service Center serving Dale, Butler, Coffee and Covington counties is facing a critical shortage of volunteer bell ringers ahead of the Christmas Eve deadline.
Officials said the final days of the campaign are crucial to securing funding for 2026 programs across the four-county region, including utility assistance, a free food pantry and the Angel Tree program for families in need.
The Salvation Army said unfilled volunteer shifts could directly impact its ability to provide these services to vulnerable residents in the coming year.
Those interested in learning more or coordinating coverage are encouraged to contact The Salvation Army Service Center directly.
