The Salvation Army is hoping for two things as their Christmas Kettles campaign winds down in Regina.

“The community of Springfield is so loving and generous. We’re looking forward to adding that to the many other dollars and cents that we’re putting towards serving people not only at Christmas but all throughout the year”.
“Instead of having a building where we could go out, we’ve had to build up, and so it’s just taken a lot of extra man power”, said Major Terrie Wilson from the Salvation Army.
With about 50 locations across the county, the organization is asking the community to reach into their wallets and give what they can to help families in need, this Christmas and during trying times that may happen in the coming year. Many other programs have seen an increase as well including the food pantry, Front Line Feeding, and Emergency Social Services as well as many others.
The Bloomington Salvation Army’s holiday campaign got a surprise boost on Tuesday.
Even though the bell ringing will come to an end, the Salvation Army is still seeking donations through the end of the year online or by phone.
