Kroger stores in Duluth along with stores in Georgia, South Carolina and Eastern Tennessee are ringing in the holiday season with The Salvation Army’s annual Red Kettle Campaign.

Through Dec. 24, volunteer bell ringers will be at Kroger stores to raise money that provides toys for children, meals for the hungry, coats for the homeless and help for communities facing natural disasters.

“Kroger is excited to once again partner with The Salvation Army this holiday season,” said Glynn Jenkins, director of communications and public relations for Kroger’s Atlanta Division. “We encourage our customers and associates to join us in supporting the Red Kettle Campaign, a cause that truly embraces the holiday spirit.”

Last year, Kroger’s Atlanta Division raised more than $1.2 million for The Salvation Army’s annual campaign.
