Medford Klamath Falls, OR, November 10, 2026 — The annual Red Kettle bell-ringing season is scheduled to commence in Medford this Friday. This year’s campaign will include a significant matching funds initiative, aiming to amplify donations.

Organizers have announced that for every dollar donated during the bell-ringing season, a matching contribution will be made, up to a total of $25,000. This matching fund is intended to encourage broader community participation and maximize the impact of contributions.

The bell-ringing events are a traditional part of fundraising efforts for The Salvation Army, though specific beneficiaries for this Medford season were not detailed in the provided summary. Bell-ringers, often volunteers, will be stationed at various public locations throughout the city, collecting donations via kettles and traditional bell-ringing. The campaign is set to begin on Friday, with further details on specific locations and times expected to be released by local organizers.

The matching funds campaign offers a dual incentive for donors: their contribution is immediately doubled by the matching fund up to the specified limit, potentially doubling the reach of their generosity. The program aims to provide substantial support for the organization’s ongoing work. The contractor’s name for managing the campaign was not provided. The specific dates for the conclusion of the bell-ringing season were not provided.
