The Salvation Army East County Red Shield Community Center

Happy New Year.

Merry Christmas!

Because of COVID-19, the need is greater. This holiday season, The Salvation Army expects to see a greater need for our services more than any in recent history. Unemployment rates are expected to be 10%-11%, and based on the increased service we’ve already provided this year due to COVID-19, we need resources to serve up to 155% more people with Christmas assistance. ... Visit ElCajonRedKettle.org to donate.

Due to #COVID19 there will be fewer Red Kettles out this #holiday season, so your support online makes an even bigger difference. Help us #RescueChristmas for those families who are hurting by donating at elcajonredkettle.org. Thank you for your generosity.

Bible Study with Ms. Shirley - "Stand Tall" Scripture: Hebrews 10:19-39

Many of us have Christmas memories of smiling faces ringing bells on busy streets. The Salvation Army Red Kettle is a tradition known around the world, and it’s a campaign that helps millions in need each year.

Visit your local Virtual Red Kettle http://elcajonredkettle.org, select the amount you’re able to give, and click the donate button to make the bell ring! #rescuechristmas

We pick up food on a daily basis from local stores, and what we can’t give out to people we give to pigs...and chickens! We also take all recycling and use those funds to support the worldwide efforts of The Salvation Army in orphanages, shelters and schools. We utilize resources to the best of our ability... Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.-John Wesley #fightforgood #zerowaste See more
