救世军印第安纳红壶挑战：Bender Lumber第六年配捐，五县感恩节后周末现金捐款逐美元配、合计最高11,600美元
救世军（The Salvation Army）印第安纳师在官网宣布，当地企业Bender Lumber连续第六年为红壶（Red Kettle）募捐设配捐挑战：今年感恩节后的周五与周六（11月28日至29日），在印第安纳州Daviess、Greene、Lawrence、Morgan与Orange五县所有红壶点位投入的现金捐款，将获逐美元配捐，五场合计最高11,600美元，配得款项供2026年项目使用。
红壶点位设在十余处零售店门口，包括Walmart与Kroger。12月还将有第二场配捐。救世军表示，红壶筹得的善款全数留在印第安纳本地，用于食物、住宿与家庭支持等全年项目。
Bender Lumber总裁Ben Watters与救世军印第安纳师服务推广主任Billie Kay呼吁居民在配捐周末把现金投进红壶，让每1美元变成2美元。Bender Lumber 1931年创立于Bloomington，是印第安纳州本地的木材与建材企业。
红壶募捐始于1891年，是救世军最广为人知的筹款传统，募捐季从感恩节前延续到圣诞节前夕，所得是许多地方分会全年服务资金的主要来源。

Salvation Army Indiana Red Kettle Challenge: Bender Lumber Matches Cash Gifts Dollar for Dollar in Five Counties, Up to $11,600, on the Weekend After Thanksgiving
The Salvation Army's Indiana Division announced on its website that local company Bender Lumber is running its Red Kettle matching challenge for a sixth year: on Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving, November 28-29, cash dropped into any Red Kettle in Daviess, Greene, Lawrence, Morgan and Orange counties in Indiana will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $11,600 across the five counties, with the matched funds designated for 2026 programs.
Kettles stand outside more than a dozen retail locations, including Walmart and Kroger stores. A second match is planned in December. The Salvation Army says every dollar raised stays in Indiana to fund year-round programs such as food, shelter and family support.
Bender Lumber President Ben Watters and Billie Kay, the Indiana Division's Service Extension director, are asking residents to give cash at a kettle during the match weekend so each dollar becomes two. Bender Lumber, founded in Bloomington in 1931, is an Indiana lumber and building-materials company.
The Red Kettle campaign, dating to 1891, is The Salvation Army's best-known fundraiser; the season runs from before Thanksgiving through Christmas Eve and supplies a major share of many local units' annual service budgets.
