Salvation Army supplements national appeal with virtual kettles
As part of its effort to respond to changes in how people donate, The Salvation Army announced that its 2006 Christmas fundraising campaign will include an Online Christmas Kettle Program. This program will supplement, but not replace, the Army’s traditional fundraising methods, including the familiar Christmas kettles on street corners and at retail outlets throughout Canada. “Our new online program is all part of an effort to make it easier for the growing number of people who already shop and pay their bills online to donate to our Christmas campaign,” said Commissioner M. Christine MacMillan, Territorial Commander of The Salvation Army for Canada and Bermuda. “Funds donated will help light up Christmas by providing toys, food and clothing at Christmas for society’s most vulnerable.” For the first time, organizations in Canada will be able to host their own “virtual” Christmas kettles on their company website, while individuals are invited to participate in an online fundraising contest.
