THUNDER BAY — The Salvation Army set a record-high target when it launched this year's Christmas Kettle campaign in Thunder Bay.
One way officials hope to reach it by Christmas Eve is by encouraging community members to volunteer to accept donations at the familiar plastic kettles. "There definitely have been challenges in terms of volunteers getting sick, so we've had to have some replacements at the last minute, including some super-heroes who've done a lot of filling in," Kromm said in an interview Tuesday.Anyone available to take on a shift is invited to call 345-6492 to make arrangements.
The Salvation Army emergency shelter for the homeless is operating at capacity, while the transitional housing program that helps people develop skills to live independently is nearly at capacity.
