The Salvation Army’s Kettle Campaign has come closer to reaching its goal of $160,000.
The annual Christmas fundraiser has raised more than $80,000 so far. But the rate of money bring brought in has dipped. The organization is about $7,000 behind the total brought in at this time last year.
The money raised through the Christmas Kettle campaign goes towards Christmas toys and gifts and food for families, but also to school breakfast programs and anti-anger and anti-bullying campaigns.
Organizers are asking the community to continue to support the kettle campaign.
Kettles will be located from Nov. 16 until Dec. 24 at Intercity Shopping Centre, Superstore, Grandview Mall, Wal-Mart and at the Arthur Street, Dawson Road and Thunder Centre LCBO stores.
Anyone interested in volunteering should call 345-6492.
