It’s a big day for the Salvation Army in Calgary as it kicks off its annual Christmas Kettle campaign.
Captain Pam Goodyear says this year’s fundraising goal is $1-million.
“Last year we came in just under $900,000; a phenomenal amount of money, but we’re hoping to reach the $1-million mark this year,” she said.
The campaign will be officially kicked off Wednesday with a luncheon at the Hyatt downtown.
Again this year, the Salvation Army is looking for volunteers to help staff the some 70 kettles around town.
To help out, call the Sally Ann.
