In an act of civic camaraderie and philanthropic competition, Lewisville Mayor TJ Gilmore is rallying mayors from neighboring towns to join in The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign. The friendly challenge, slated to take place at Sam’s Club located at 751 W. Main Street on Saturday, Dec. 14 from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., is to see which mayor can collect the most donations for a cause that underpins a significant portion of The Salvation Army’s yearly operating budget.
With a personal goal of raising $2,000, Mayor Gilmore is leading the charge outside of the Sam’s Club, as posted on theCity of Lewisville’s official website. While the bell rings to capture the attention of passersby, donations can also be made online through the provided link. Invitations to join the fray have been extended to the mayors of Flower Mound, Bartonville, Crossroads, Hickory Creek, and Denton, amplifying the spirit of community and generosity across the county.
The Salvation Army’s annual Red Kettle Campaign is a cornerstone in financing a variety of community assistance programs. Among the services funded by campaign contributions are critical needs such as food pantries, clothing assistance, and educational support, as has been proven by the impact of the previous year’s donations. With Lewisville’s contributions in 2024, The Salvation Army supported over 4,700 individuals requiring aid, as reported by the original press release from theCity of Lewisville.
