Kettle Campaign underway

PRINCE GEORGE – It is one of the busiest times of the year from the Salvation Army.

The Christmas kettle campaign is officially underway. Each year, the Salvation Army sets a goal of raising $250,000 to keep the operations of the organization, locally, running year after year.

“This year, the challenges of COVID have brought some trepidation for some of the volunteers who have been faithful volunteers in the past,” explains Major Neil Wilkinson with the Prince George Salvation Army. “Understandably, they’re a bit nervous about coming out and ringing bells at Christmas because of the threat of COVID. ”

He says they have some stringent policies in place to keep donors and volunteers safe. Nonetheless, COVID will impact how the campaign is rolling out.
