Chapters of the Salvation Army are reporting that donations for the charity's signature Red Kettle Campaign and on the year overall are down.
The Washington Post reported that in 2022 the Red Kettle campaign received $102 million, a 19% drop from the $126 million earned in 2019.
“We have not yet seen throughout the nonprofit sector a return to the generosity and giving that we had seen before the pandemic,” Commissioner Kenneth G. Hodder, the Salvation Army’s national commander told the Post.
Charities as a whole faced an inflation adjusted 10.5% drop in giving in 2022, according to the Indiana University Giving America 2023 report.
"If there is less funding for utility assistance instead of, I'm making up the number here, but instead of serving 100, you might have to serve 95 until you can raise the other money to help with that 100,” Lt. Col. Ivan Wild, the southwest division commander for The Salvation Army told Phoenix ABC affiliate KNXV.
