Regina's Salvation Army says it's well short of annual Kettle Campaign goal

The Salvation Army's Kettle Campaign has struggled to get donations in Regina in 2024.

Regina’s Salvation Army says that with a little more than a week left in its annual holiday Kettle Campaign – it has fundraised less than half of its goal for the year.

“The Salvation Army in Regina needs your help to raise over $100,000 at their Kettles over the next [eight] days to meet their campaign goal. Your donations at Christmas are so important, as well as your gifts of time. Hundreds of volunteer hours are still needed to help reach this goal and keep the kettles open as much as possible,” a news release said.

Hoping to spur a rise in donations, Regina Fire and Protective Services will be helping the organization through the final days of the annual campaign.

“Chief Layne Jackson and Local 181 President Tyler Packham will be joining Major Al Hoeft on Monday morning from 10:00 – Noon at Costco to ring the bells and support the kettle campaign,” the release said.

The Salvation Army says it is still in desperate need of more volunteers to keep all kettles open for the remainder of the campaign.

Those interested in volunteering can call 306-527-7950.

Donations to the Kettle Campaign stay in the immediate area where they are donated and go towards funding year-round programs at the Salvation Army.
