With only three days to go and The Salvation Army in Chatham-Kent still has $ 123,000 raise in order to meet its Christmas campaign goal.
The goal of $450,000 was set in early November by the organization and helps to provide the much needed services throughout the municipality.
The funds are used year round to support the members of our community that need a little hand up during the difficult times with the basic necessities of life.
The Red Kettles will be out until Christmas Eve (2pm) in Wallaceburg and Chatham to accept donations.
On-line donations can be made through www.fillthekettle.com and clicking on a kettle location in C-K. A $5 donation can be made texting ‘HOPE4003’ to 45678 on your cell phone.
“While there is still a large amount to raise, every coin helps us in reaching our goal,” says Captain Stephanie Watkinson, Community Ministry Director & Corps Officer (Pastor) of Chatham-Kent Ministries. “It is our hope that we will be able to reach this goal so we can continue with providing hope and dignity in this area.”
Thank you to all our supporters who have donated toys, financially and their time so far in our campaign.
We could not so this without the support of the community of C-K.
All funds donated throughout Chatham-Kent are used in their local area.
The Salvation Army operates four family services locations throughout Chatham-Kent, including food banks, housing support, youth support, money management support, children programs and summer camps.
