DUBUQUE, Iowa — November 14, 2026 — The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle campaign is underway in Dubuque. Bell ringers took their posts this morning, Saturday, November 14, at stores across the city, and the kettles will be out through Christmas Eve, December 24.

Kettles are out today at Fareway, Theisen’s, Hy-Vee on Dodge Street and South Locust Street, and Walmart, with bell ringers starting at 10 a.m.

Every dollar dropped in a Red Kettle stays local, supporting The Salvation Army’s community programs in Dubuque, including the neighborhood pantry, youth development, and rent and utility assistance for families in need.

Volunteers are still needed to ring bells through the season. To sign up for a shift, visit RegisterToRing.com.

The Salvation Army is also still looking for drivers for the kettle season, with both volunteer and paid openings. Drivers deliver and collect kettles and supplies and drive bell ringers to and from their kettle locations around Dubuque County. To apply, you must have a valid driver’s license and a clean driving record, and you will need to clear a background check.

The Salvation Army is located at 1099 Iowa St. in Dubuque. For questions, call 563-556-1573.
