    Edmonton’s 2014 Christmas Kettle Campaign saw well over 300 volunteers ring the bells at 42 kettle locations across the city, bringing in $520,000 for The Salvation Army’s Community & Family Services (CFS)! Even though we did not reach our $545,000 goal this year, we will still be able to provide year-round programs and services at CFS, including emergency food, clothing, toys, counselling, hot meals, senior’s programs, camps for kids, and more, throughout the next year.

    To thank all the wonderful people who gave their time during the Christmas season to man a kettle this year, The Salvation Army hosted a dinner on January 9th. Service awards were given out to 68 volunteers who went above and beyond by volunteering for over 30, 50, and 100+ hours.

    We’d like to thank each and every person who volunteered with us this year, in any capacity. The dedication and selflessness of our volunteers ensures we can carry on the fight against poverty, restore dignity, and Give Hope Today. Thank you.
