Beyond the Red Kettle Tours
The Salvation Army is best known for its Christmastime bell ringers and red kettles. Yet many people are unaware of the critical services we provide to more than 200,000 Twin Cities residents each year.

Join us for a free, one-hour tour and learn firsthand how The Salvation Army provides help, hope and healing to people with nowhere left to turn.

Session attendance is limited, allowing you to talk comfortably with Salvation Army leaders. These are not fundraising events.

Tours take place at the Salvation Army facilities listed below. Click here to view tour dates or REGISTER ONLINE. You may also register by calling 651-746-3498 or sending an e-mail to marlo.krueger-gale@usc.salvationarmy.org.
