Red Kettle volunteers needed as Christmas Season approaches

North Coast residents will soon be seeing the familiar Salvation Army Red Kettles popping up around Prince Rupert, as the annual fundraising campaign for the Christmas season begins to head into full motion.

The Salvation Army has issued the call for volunteers to staff the kettles once they take their place, taking to their Facebook page this week to provide some notes on the annual campaign.

In past years, local groups and businesses have made the annual Kettle Campaign a team event, seeking out those in their organization willing to donate a few hours towards the cause.

Likewise, individuals from around the region have heard the call and offered up their time for the fund raising campaign, which always resonates with those in the community.

If you can lend a hand you are asked to call Ken Copping at 250-624-6786 to learn more about how you or your group can become involved.

As we get closer to Christmas, a reminder of the annual hamper distribution through the Salvation Army, tomorrow marks the final day that you can have your name placed on that list.

You can review those notes on the program from our item of October 23 .
