Fairbury Salvation Army Red Kettle Drive

01/07/2026

Huge thanks to daily assistance from Dave's Supermarket and Bank of Pontiac, Fairbury Bluestem location during the 2025 Red Kettle Campaign.

Thanks to the many churches, organizations and businesses (listed at the bottom of this webpage link) who take many, many time slots to fill.

Thanks also to each of you who rang the bell, donated money and watched here for spots you could help fill.

Our community is generously supportive of those in need, and it is such a blessing to see the support this campaign is given.

See you again in 2026!

THANK YOU to everyone who rang the bell, donated, and even watched the openings for a chance to ring. It is a blessing and an honor to use these community funds to make a difference for local families in need of some assistance.

Any takers for ringing the bell tonight for any part of 5pm to 8pm? Choose your own shift, this is usually a great weekend for donations and it would be great to have someone there manning the kettle at Dave's Supermarket in Fairbury, IL! Thanks in advance for considering it!

5 days left for bell ringing! THANK YOU to all who are following here, sharing to their page, and checking their schedules to try to help keep the bell ringing and bring in donations for this area. It takes a lot of people to keep it going! As of the end of last week, we were running on par with last year's donations! And thank you to everyone dropping donations in the red kettle.
