Local Generosity Gets a Boost: Morgan Wallen Foundation Steps Up for Red Kettle Donations

On December 20th, the Morgan Wallen Foundation is stepping up to double the impact of Red Kettle donations in Knoxville and Oak Ridge. This means every dollar given on that day will be matched, up to $10, 000, and all of it will stay right in the local community. The foundation, started by the Knoxville-born country star, focuses on sports, music, and helping families with basic needs. The Red Kettle campaign is a big deal for the Salvation Army. It helps pay for emergency shelter, meals, youth programs, and other services that many people rely on.So, how can you be part of this? You can drop some cash into any Red Kettle in Knox or Anderson counties. Or, if you prefer, you can donate online at SalvationArmyKnoxville. org. It's a simple way to make a big difference. This isn't just about raising money. It's about showing how a little extra help can go a long way in supporting those who need it most. The Salvation Army's programs are a lifeline for many, and this match means more people can get the help they need. Think about it: doubling your donation means double the impact. It's a chance to make your contribution stretch further and support your community in a meaningful way. So, mark your calendar for December 20th and be part of something bigger.
