Christmas Kettle Campaign
We are pleased to announce that our club will once again support the Salvation Army’s Annual Christmas Kettle Campaign, running from November 15th to December 24th. This longstanding tradition raises essential funds for programs that support the less fortunate in our community throughout the year.
We have reserved Saturdays at Devonshire Mall for our club, with volunteer shifts on November 16th, 23rd, 30th, and December 7th, 14th, and 21st at two locations: Urban Planet (south entrance) and Shoppers (near the Food Court). Shifts are in one-hour increments for convenience, and chairs will be available.
Volunteers serve as ambassadors, simply thanking donors who contribute to the kettle. For added ease, a "tap" system will also be in place.
If you are interested in volunteering or know a friend or family member who would like to volunteer their time, please sign up for an available shift and join us in supporting this impactful cause. Together, we can help make a difference in our community this holiday season.
Andrea and her team are on a mission to welcome a Syrian refugee family to Canada, and they need your support! 💙 Every donation brings them one step closer to safety, a new home and a fresh start!
✨ Double Your Impact! ✨
Thanks to a group of generous anonymous donors, your gift will be matched up to $10,000! This means every dollar you give will go twice as far. Donate today, and your kindness will be doubled, making an even bigger difference for a family that desperately needs our help!
