Red Kettle donations in Oshkosh count for double Dec. 7 as Oshkosh Corporation Foundation matches donations
OSHKOSH — It’s the season of giving, and one local company is teaming up with The Salvation Army of Oshkosh for the first match day of the bell-ringing season.
Dec. 7, Oshkosh Corporation Foundation will match all contributions to red kettles dollar-for-dollar, effectively doubling the value of each donation.
A news release said the matched funds will provide vital support for The Salvation Army’s programs and services, which assist individuals and families in need throughout the greater Oshkosh area.
