Christmas Kettle Campaign Launched

The Salvation Army has launched its national 2010 Annual Christmas Campaign aimed at raising money to support dozens of social services programs. This year, the iconic Salvation Army Christmas kettles will appear on street corners across Canada and on Google Maps through the Army's online "Fill the Kettle" program. Visitors to http://www.fillthekettle.com/ will be able to track donations at nearly 2,000 kettles on-the-street nationwide. Using Google technology, donors will be able to locate and make a secure online donation directly to individual kettles in their community. The Salvation Army's annual Christmas Campaign has grown into one of Canada's most significant and recognizable annual charitable events. Last year, more than 18 million was raised in the kettles nationwide, an all time record.
