Kettle Campaign wraps up this weekend; numbers down nationwide
MEDICINE HAT, AB — The Salvation Army is hoping residents will give them an extra push in fundraising during the final days of its biggest fundraiser.
Across the country, $16 million has been raised through the annual Christmas Kettle Campaign. The organization is still $5 million short of its fundraising goal of $21 million.
“We rely heavily on our Kettle Campaign to fund our community and social service programs,” says Major John Murray, Territorial Secretary for Public Relations and Development, in a news release. “As people are out shopping in these final days before Christmas, we hope they’ll consider donating to a Salvation Army kettle as well. Every dollar donated will help The Salvation Army continue our vital work during Christmas and throughout the year.”
