Officials said they tested out the new debit and credit card machines at some sites last year, but now every red kettle will have the new technology. The goal of the method is to make it easier for people who want to help.
Salvation Army officials said they will be helping 2,600 families during this holiday season with the red kettle and angel tree programs.
The Tulsa-area branch of the organization hopes to reach its $70,000 goal this year.
