The Salvation Army’s annual Christmas Kettle \u00a0Campaign is set to launch on November 14th, running through to December 24th, 2013 across British Columbia.<\/p>\n

The Christmas Kettle Campaign is aimed at raising money and awareness about the continued need for social service programs and resources to support vulnerable individuals throughout British \u00a0 Columbia during the holiday season and year-round.\u00a0\u00a0 The Salvation Army Christmas Kettle Campaign is one of Canada\u2019s largest and most recognizable annual charitable events with all dollars donated staying in the community where the donation was made.\u00a0\u00a0 Last year, more than $20 million was raised in Christmas Kettles nationwide and over $4 million collected in British Columbia alone.<\/p>\n

The Salvation Army continues to offer donors a variety of ways to support to this year\u2019s Christmas Campaign:\u00a0 by way of physical Christmas Kettles or via The Salvation Army’s Fill the Christmas Kettle \u00a0program, which allows donors to contribute online by visiting www.FilltheKettle.com<\/a> \u00a0\u00a0The Salvation Army also accepts phone, mail, and walk-in donations.\u00a0 Phone donations can be made by calling 1-800-SAL-ARMY (1-800-725-2769) or by texting \u201cGIVEBC\u201d to 45678 to donate $5 through most mobile carriers in Canada.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery donation received will make a difference in the life of someone in need,\u201d shares, Patricia Cuff, Divisional Secretary for Public Relations and Development for The Salvation Army in British Columbia. \u201cAnd, The Salvation Army will stretch donations as far as it can, to help as many people as we can.\u201d\u00a0 86 cents of every dollar donated to The Salvation Army is used directly in charitable activities \u2013 exceeding the Canada Revenue Agency guideline of 65 percent donation efficiency.<\/p>\n
