救世军红壶募捐在圣贝纳迪诺启动：今年目标15万美元，天使树同步为儿童登记礼物
救世军圣贝纳迪诺县机构的2026年红壶募捐已经启动。启动晚宴10月20日在加州圣贝纳迪诺县高地市（Highland）的Bear Springs活动中心举行，州众议员詹姆斯·拉莫斯（James Ramos）担任主讲嘉宾，今年的募捐主题是「改变人生」（Transforming Lives）。
救世军为今年定下的筹款目标是15万美元，去年当地红壶募捐共筹得136921美元。红壶募捐的善款将用于该机构在圣贝纳迪诺县全年的食物、庇护和家庭援助项目，服务范围包括圣贝纳迪诺、雷德兰兹、高地、里亚托、洛马琳达、科尔顿和尤凯帕等地。
与红壶同步进行的还有「天使树」项目：12岁及以下儿童的家庭可自10月1日起在saangeltree.org登记，由爱心人士认领心愿、在圣诞节前为孩子送上礼物。救世军表示，红壶募捐自1891年在旧金山起源，至今仍是它最重要的社区筹款传统，超市和商场门口的志愿者摇铃募捐将持续到圣诞前夕。（来源：救世军）
Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign Launches in San Bernardino With $150,000 Goal; Angel Tree Registration Open
The Salvation Army's 2026 Red Kettle campaign in San Bernardino County is under way. The kickoff dinner was held on October 20 at the Bear Springs Event Center in Highland, San Bernardino County, California, with Assemblymember James Ramos as keynote speaker; this year's campaign theme is 'Transforming Lives.'
The Salvation Army has set this year's local goal at $150,000, after last year's Red Kettle campaign raised $136,921 in the county. Kettle donations fund the organization's year-round food, shelter and family-assistance programs across San Bernardino County, serving communities including San Bernardino, Redlands, Highland, Rialto, Loma Linda, Colton and Yucaipa.
Running alongside the kettles is the Angel Tree program: families with children aged 12 and under have been able to register at saangeltree.org since October 1, and donors adopt a child's wishes and provide gifts before Christmas. The Salvation Army notes that the Red Kettle tradition began in San Francisco in 1891 and remains its signature community fundraiser, with volunteer bell ringers outside stores through Christmas Eve.
