Viterbo Rings
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 (see list below).
Looking to serve with a group that adopted a location not listed on UGetConnected? Check out the list below and connect with the group you're looking to serve with.
Anyone empowered to continue serving on their own can sign up for bell-ringing shifts directly on the Salvation Army’s website by clicking here.
Details about our Day
While you serve, please wear your favorite Viterbo gear and/or festive apparel to promote the holiday spirit and our Viterbo pride!
Hospitality with a twist. Below are a few reminders from Viterbo and the Salvation Army to stay safe while ringing bells this year:
-
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. )
CLICK HERE for a helpful and comical tutorial of "A Day in the Life of a Bell Ringer" from friends at the Salvation Army.
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 us at viterborec@viterbo.edu
Below are the locations in 2025. Please email cgburnsgilbert@viterbo.edu if interested in adopting a location.
Thank you to everyone showing up to serve!
