The Salvation Army is inviting businesses to come out and help support our local Christmas Kettle Campaign, starting November 15th through December 24th every Monday-Saturday. We are looking for volunteers to man our kettles throughout the community and help us raise funds to support our Community and Family Services, here at the Fort St. John Salvation Army. All funds raised stay local and are used for the following: Christmas Food and Toy Hampers, Medical Transportation support, items for the Food Bank and vouchers for essential items for families in need.
Having friendly faces tend our kettles increases public engagement and also increases donations by up to 500%, compared to a kettle that is stationed without a volunteer. That is why, this year, we have created an incentive for businesses and groups to participate in the volunteering process. For 2024, we have created a stand-up banner for businesses to represent their logo and support for the Campaign while they are on shift. We ask that your group book minimum 3 consecutive shifts (2 hours each) on a selected day to have this opportunity. Along with signage at the location, we will promote your business on all our social media outlets on that day. (Please view the attachment of the banner). Logos must be provided 5 days in advance and will be printed professionally by Graph-X signs.
Locations available are: Save-On Foods, Winners, Canadian Tire, Amanda's No Frills, WalMart and Totem Mall.
Joining the Kettle Campaign for a day is a great way for employees to get out and support a great cause during the holiday season, engage with the local community members and a fun opportunity for a team building experience.
We would love to see you out there!!
