For more than 100 years, The Salvation Army has been using Christmas Kettles to support families in need during the Christmas season and throughout the year. Thanks to the efforts and generosity of our volunteers, donors, and staff, The Salvation Army is able to provide direct, compassionate, hands-on service to over 1.9 million people each year in Canada, restoring hope and dignity to those who might otherwise remain invisible in society. All funds raised through the Christmas Kettle program stay in Grande Prairie, and are used to directly support our friends and neighbors in need.
