Kickoff for Salvation Army Kettle Campaign

By Joan Janzen

In its 131st year, the Kettle Campaign is The Salvation Army’s largest fundraising drive of the year. It’s become a traditional sign that the holidays are upon us, as the campaign kicked off at Kindersley Walmart on Saturday, November 27th. Be sure to greet the Kettle volunteers as they ring the bells at Walmart. Remember, every donation, no matter how small, matters.

Supporting the needs of families and individuals in our community is not only important at Christmas time but throughout the entire year. Donations will go towards meeting those needs during the holiday season and into the new year. Volunteers are always welcome, and folks who watch over the kettles can be assured their efforts are going to an extremely worthy cause.

Anyone wanting to volunteer can phone Jodi at 306-463-4710 or Dave at 306-460-5599.
