Ballad Health is proud to support The Salvation Army this holiday season, and we need your help to make an even bigger impact. On Friday, Dec. 19, we’re asking Ballad Health team members to volunteer as bell ringers for The Salvation Army’s iconic red kettle campaign. This simple act of service helps raise critical funds for neighbors in need across our region.

Ballad Health has pledged a $30,000 kettle match, including $10,000 in donations to Salvation Army centers in Bristol, Johnson City and Kingsport. These funds will help provide food, shelter and hope to individuals and families facing tough times.
Last year, the Salvation Army’s Center of Hope shelter in Johnson City operated at 92.5% capacity, providing more than 16,000 nights of stay and over 44,000 meals to guests in emergency and veterans’ programs. Veterans in the program increased their monthly income by an average of $598, helping them transition to independent living. The Salvation Army also delivered holiday gift cards to 1,276 Hurricane Helene-affected households and supported 777 children and more than 600 senior and family households with Christmas aid and food assistance.
This Friday, let’s come together as a Ballad Health family to make this holiday season brighter for those who need it most. Please sign up today. Your helping hand can make a world of difference.
