Salvation Army Red Kettle Program Ready To Begin

November 3, 2011

The 2011 Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign kicked off Wednesday morning outside Cordova Mall.

“The Salvation Army is a great organization that truly makes a difference in our community,” said Pensacola Mayor Ashton Hayward as he helped kick off the campaign. “The Red Kettle Campaign is a hallmark of the holiday season that provides The Salvation Army with the means to provide its invaluable services throughout the year.”

The 45 red kettles in Escambia County won’t officially be out until November 12, but the Salvation Army held the kick off event Wednesday to highlight the need for volunteers to staff them.

The Red Kettle Campaign is The Salvation Army’s most prominent fundraiser. Held each year during the holiday season, the campaign enables The Salvation Army to provide food, toys, and clothing to people in need.

    This is certainly a bad time, for hard times. Is there a kettle allocated for Cantonment?
