The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign in Minot raised $55,045 during the 2025 holiday season, reaching 91.74% of its $60,000 fundraising goal, according to Lt. Trevor Reed, corps officer and pastor at The Salvation Army’s Minot Corps Community Center.

Although the campaign did not meet its overall goal, the total exceeded last year’s fundraising efforts, Reed said, crediting strong community support throughout the season.

In addition to monetary donations, 224.6 pounds of food were collected during the CPKC Holiday Train event, Reed said.

The Salvation Army also assisted 332 children through its annual toy distribution program, helping 332 children receive Christmas presents. Each participating family also received a food box, according to Reed.
