Over the years, the Viterbo community has come together to help raise money for the Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign. We have 10 different locations across the area, many of which are adopted by various Viterbo groups.
Below are the locations for 2025. Please email kjmull@viterbo.edu if interested in adopting a specific location.
Thank you to everyone showing up to serve!

While you serve, please wear your favorite Viterbo gear and/or festive apparel to promote the holiday spirit and our Viterbo pride!
No more than 2-3 bell ringers at one location, per shift. Even if the people are from the same household or family unit. This has been written into some of the kettle contracts with businesses, so please monitor that when reserving your shift (ex: If you plan to ring with a friend, but there is only 1 available spot for that location/shift, do not just show up. Pick a different location. )
Transportation: Participants are responsible for their own transportation. Please CLICK HERE to view the La Crosse MTU bus routes/timing that may help!
Questions?: Please email Kristin at kjmull@viterbo.edu
