Quincy, MA – Shoppers on Newport Avenue will notice a familiar sound today as members of the Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office volunteer outside the Stop & Shop at 65 Newport Ave, ringing the Salvation Army’s signature red kettle bell to support local families during the holiday season.
According to the Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office, deputies will be on-site from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. today, encouraging residents to stop by, donate, and help the Salvation Army of Quincy, MA continue its winter assistance programs. The annual effort provides food, clothing, and emergency support to individuals and families throughout Norfolk County.
Officials said the red kettle campaign is one of the area’s most impactful seasonal fundraisers, especially as community organizations report increased need heading into December. Deputies are stationed near the store’s entrance, greeting shoppers and offering a simple way to contribute a few dollars toward holiday relief efforts.
Local residents walking through the busy shopping area have paused to take photos, express gratitude, and drop spare change or bills into the kettle. The Sheriff’s Office noted that all donations collected today stay within the Quincy and greater Norfolk County region to support ongoing outreach programs.
This year’s campaign continues a long-running partnership between the Salvation Army and local law enforcement, who participate annually as volunteer bell ringers.
Residents who cannot attend in person are encouraged to visit the Salvation Army of Quincy’s donation page to support the ongoing holiday drive.
