Christmas Kettles Steaming Hot With Donations

The Salvation Army's annual Christmas Kettle campaign is well underway. For more than a century, the familiar donation bins have been found in all the key shopping areas and other public-gathering spots. Captain Fillippe Vega of the Lunenburg County Salvation Army says the money raised through the Christmas season helps needy families through the entire year.



The Kettle campaign along the South Shore raised thousands of dollars last year. Captain Vega says despite a difficult economy in recent years, residents in the area haven't wavered in their support of the Salvation Army's efforts to help those in need.
