The jingling bells of the Christmas kettles for the Salvation Army will again be a common sight around Weyburn businesses in December, starting on Thursday, Dec. 1.
Volunteers are needed to help fill two-hour shifts for the kettles, which will be set up in four locations around Weyburn every Thursday, Friday and Saturday up until Friday, Dec. 23.
The locations will be the Co-op food store, Wal-Mart, Wholesale Club, and the liquor board store.
According to a survey, more than half of all donors to the Salvation Army list “giving to a Christmas kettle” as their primary method of giving to the Salvation Army.
All donations given in Weyburn will stay in Weyburn to support the programs offered by the local Salvation Army, said kettle coordinator Helen Orsted, who noted the goal for this year is $33,000.
If cheques are placed in the kettles, they will be receipted.
Those who wish to volunteer for a two-hour shift manning a kettle can contact Orsted at 306-842-6485 or 306-861-4599.
