The Salvation Army Red Kettles Jewelry Auction

Friday, March 1st 2019 @ 1:15am

In 2014, an anonymous widow dropped her wedding rings into a Salvation Army donation kettle outside of Boston’s North Station. The diamond ring and gold wedding band were accompanied with an appraisal for $1,800 and a note, which expressed her wishes for the rings to help children in need during the holidays, in memory of her late husband.

This act of generosity sparked a trend of ongoing jewelry donations across the region, most of them accompanied with similar notes of dedication and wishes of hope for the less fortunate. In a matter of weeks, we received 15 different jewelry donations to Massachusetts Red Kettles, raising more than $30,000. During our 2018 Red Kettle campaign, The Salvation Army received more than 125 jewelry donations from locations across the state.

The Salvation Army Massachusetts Division has been helping those in need for 135 years. For more information visit www.salvationarmyma.org.
