Chattanooga Celebrates the Return of Christmas Kickoff Event at Hamilton Place Mall

Chattanooga’s Holiday Spirit Shines Bright with Christmas Kickoff

Chattanooga, get ready to spread some holiday cheer! The Salvation Army is back in action this year, bringing back its popular Christmas Kickoff event at Hamilton Place Mall. This marks a special moment, as it’s the first time the event has returned since the dark days of the COVID pandemic. Residents of the scenic city are invited to join in the festivities that signal the real start of the Christmas season!

A Celebration for the Community

Major Douglas McClure from The Salvation Army of Chattanooga expressed the team’s excitement about reconnecting with the community. “We are thrilled to bring our Christmas Kickoff back to Hamilton Place Mall, where so many community members gather to celebrate the season,” Major McClure shared. This event isn’t merely about their beloved programs; it’s about uniting everyone in a spirit of generosity and hope.

Let’s face it, the holidays can be tough for some families. With the upcoming festivities, it’s crucial for all of us to remember the importance of community support. The Christmas Kickoff is a time when kindness fills the air, and this year, the goal is to inspire even more people to give back to those in need.

Marked by Tradition

This yearly event is not just a fundraiser; it also holds a place in the hearts of many. The Christmas Kickoff serves to launch two significant campaigns: the Red Kettle Campaign and the Angel Tree Program. The Red Kettle Campaign is all about raising money for local programs that provide assistance for struggling families, while the Angel Tree Program ensures that children in need receive gifts during this magical season.

Special Guests and Surprises Await

Santa Claus himself will make a visit to the kickoff! We’ll leave the magic of the season to him, but the word going around is that he will donate the very first gift to the Angel Tree, setting the tone for a giving season. How whimsical is that?

Moreover, Kevin Roig from the City of Chattanooga is set to kick off the season by making the first contribution to the iconic Red Kettle. His involvement reminds us all about the impact one person can have, inspiring others to join in the festive spirit.

Join the Festivities

Let’s Make It a Memorable Holiday Season!
