Kettle Campaign Starts Today


The Salvation Army's Christmas Kettle Campaign is underway.

Fort Frances Mayor Roy Avis kicked off the campaign by manning kettle at Walmart this morning.

Captain Angel Sandoval says they're hoping to raise 15-thousand dollars this year.

"Don't hesitate to donate," says Sandoval. "Every donation you do to the Salvation Army is used locally in Fort Frances and the district."

Kettles have also been set up at Canadian Tire, Safeway, the Place and LCBO throughout the month of December.

The Salvation Army is also still looking for volunteers to man the kettles, even for just an hour or two.

To help, you can call the Salvation Army at 274-3871.
