The Salvation Army works to meet the needs of each community we serve. Sometimes this means opening a food bank, other times it means offering shelter, but this year in Pictou it meant lending our iconic kettles to the local Legion to assist with their Poppy Campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the first request we\u2019ve had of this kind,\u201d says Major Daniel Roode, Leader of The Salvation Army in Pictou County. \u201cBut we knew they were in need and we wanted to help.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In October, Janice Watters, past president of Legion Branch 16, knew they were facing a challenge of how to collect funds for the Poppy Campaign at unmanned locations. That\u2019s when she remembered the kettles and decided to contact The Salvation Army<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe knew we had strict rules to follow this year with some locations not allowing us to have a volunteer in the store,\u201d Watters explains. \u201cSo we came up with the idea to contact The Salvation Army to see if we could borrow the kettles.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what we would have done without The Salvation Army\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With The Salvation Army\u2019s annual kettle campaign beginning November 16, 2020, Major Roode was all too familiar with the challenges that they are facing this year around social distancing and unmanned displays. <\/span>\u201cWe know the challenges ahead of all of us this year and if we can do something to help another community group, that\u2019s what we are going to do,\u201d Major Roode explains.<\/span><\/p>\n

The kettles were used at two locations in the community \u2013 Sobeys and the NSLC. The President of Legion Branch 16, Mike Murdock, is grateful for The Salvation Army\u2019s support.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe kettles are vital to the success of our campaign this year,\u201d says Murdock. \u201cI don\u2019t know what we would have done without help from The Salvation Army.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m glad we can help each other\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To show their appreciation, Legion members will be volunteering at the kettles as bell ringers. \u201cOur members volunteer every year with the kettles,\u201d explains Murdock. \u201cWe will certainly be there to help after this.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

By working together, The Salvation Army and Legion Branch 16 can continue to raise vital funds to help the Pictou community during this difficult time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are glad to help another partner agency in a time of need,\u201d says Major Roode. \u201cWe have a long-standing relationship of good will and service with the Legion. I\u2019m glad we can help each other.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n
