The Salvation Army had a good head start on their efforts this year thanks to Prince Rupert's Harley Riders and their annual run in the fall.

The also benefit from a partnership between the Prince Rupert Port Authority and the Prince Rupert Rampage Hockey team who help with raising funds through the CIHL hockey season.

This week a familiar part of their fundraising program was already underway, with the Salvation Army Kettle Campaign in place at WalMart and Safeway so far , staffed by volunteers from the community.

The Schedule noted below, as well as the call for volunteers as they ramp up their work into December, if you can help out call the Salvation Army at 250-624-6180

They recently hosted the registration period for the annual Christmas Hamper program, which delivered a strong response from the community of those that wish to participate. That registration period came to a close on Monday, November 21st.
