Linda A. CoppLowell, MAThank you to Red Kettle volunteersAs we begin 2026, The Salvation Army Massachusetts Division would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the residents, businesses, and volunteers in the Lowell area who supported the 2025 Red Kettle Campaign. We invite the community to support The Salvation Army as part of their 2026 commitment through financial contributions or volunteering. We are deeply thankful to the Lowell community for standing with The Salvation Army year after year. To learn more about Salvation Army programming or to donate, visit salvationarmyma.org/give. An amazing thing happened from this scenario because of attitude — all those students including myself eventually graduated from high school.
