The Salvation Army has once again launched their annual Christmas Kettle Campaign and I was sent this letter from coordinator Craig Thomas.
“On Friday, November 27th The Salvation Army in Yellowknife kicked off its annual Christmas Kettle Campaign at various retail locations in the city. Our goal this year is to raise $25,000. The Christmas Kettle Campaign raises funds for The Salvation Army’s Christmas & Winter Relief Programs.
Last year, The Salvation Army provided Christmas Hampers to 400 families in Yellowknife and to other surrounding communities. The Salvation Army provides emergency food and other services to families and individuals in need throughout the year, and serves three meals a day 365 days of the year.
The Salvation Army is in great need of volunteers that would be interested in helping with our Kettle Campaign that again includes kettle locations at Wal-Mart, Canadian Tire and the downtown Liquor Store.
Our Schedule includes Thursdays and Fridays 3 pm to 8pm and Saturdays 10am to 8pm. Kettle shifts are booked in 1 hour time slots however an individual may book more than 1 shift at a time.
Should your organization wish to participate as a group we can provide larger blocks of time specific to your availability.
Should you be interested please contact Craig Thomas of the Salvation Army at 920-4673 ext. 227.
Thanks and God Bless”

So if you are at all interested in giving back to the community please give Craig a call. Remember all the funds raised go right back into the community.
