Salvation Army pulling kettle volunteers in Alberta for safety

The kettles will remain in those locations where permitted and outfitted with an electronic tap option for your debit or credit card.

As well as signage to donate online, by phone, or text message.

“Since the beginning of our campaign this year, the safety of our volunteers and donors has always been our first priority,” says Major Al Hoeft, Divisional Secretary for Public Relations. “In response to the increasing cases and the recent safety protections by the province and AHS, we will no longer have volunteers ringing the bells at our Kettles in Alberta.”

“We have many options this year for people to donate to our Christmas Kettle Campaign safely,” says Major Hoeft. “Every Kettle donation makes it possible to change someone’s life.”
