Telecom provider and non-profit combat challenge of fewer shoppers with cash by expanding program that offers convenient credit and debit card donations through giving station kiosks at selected locations
JACKSON, Miss., Dec. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- To help celebrate #GivingTuesday and the global focus today on generosity, The Salvation Army is using a grant from C Spire to expand a groundbreaking technology initiative that promises to boost donations to the non-profit's Red Kettle holiday giving campaign in the greater Jackson metropolitan area.
Consumers now have the option to make credit and debit card donations at up to 12 of the non-profit's 53 Red Kettle locations in the tri-county region – thanks to the availability of giving station kiosks equipped with tablets and connected to C Spire's mobile broadband network and equipped with secure e-readers and swipe technology.
The Salvation Army's Red Kettle campaign is a hallmark of the holidays and the largest annual fundraiser with proceeds used to support a variety of year-round programs and services for the poor and needy, including food, clothing, temporary shelter, utility assistance, disaster relief and life-skill and character building programs.
