Red Kettle Luncheon

November 5, 2026

November often marks the beginning of the holiday season, but after attending the Salvation Army’s Buffalo Area Services Annual Red Kettle Luncheon on Wednesday November 4th, we're reminded that it's also a season of hope.

Watts was proud to sponsor this year's event and have team members in attendance. From the welcoming performance by The Salvation Army Band to the moving testimony shared by guest speaker, Penny Semaia of the Buffalo Bills, the afternoon highlighted the life-changing impact that hope, compassion, and community support can have on individuals and families throughout Western New York, thanks to the work of the Salvation Army.
We were especially encouraged to hear updates on the Hope on Main initiative, a transformative multi-phase project that is expanding The Salvation Army's ability to serve those in need. Following the recent opening of the new 80-bed family emergency shelter, Watts is honored to have contributed to Phase 1 and looks forward to supporting the continued progress of this important effort.

As the Red Kettle Campaign begins, we encourage those who are interested to also support The Salvation Army's mission and help bring hope to our community this holiday season. Whether you hear the bell & see the red kettle while your grocery shopping, or use the online feature, every bit helps those in need
