Salvation Army hoping to fill kettles for Christmas The Salvation Army of Oakville is asking residents to dig deep in the last week of its annual Christmas Kettle Campaign. More than $66,000 is needed to reach the organization's $135,000 goal this year. "We're just hopeful that things will turn around in this last week," said Aisha Chaney, community and family services co-ordinator. "We're hopeful that in the crunch time when people are out doing last-minute Christmas shopping they'll think of us as well. People may not realize it's just days away and donations are still needed." The kettle campaign raises funds used to help those in need at Christmas, such as providing food vouchers to buy a holiday meal. It is also the organization's largest cash drive and helps fund community programs beyond the holidays. The local campaign ends Christmas Eve (Dec. 24) with a luminary event, known as The Festival of Lights, put on by the Fairway Hills Community Association -- neighbourhood streets are lit by luminaries, commonly known as Santa's Runway, and donations for The Salvation Army are accepted. Donations can also be made at kettle locations including: · Oakville Place, 240 Leighland Ave. · Hopedale Mall, 1515 Rebecca St. · Walmart, 234 Hays Blvd. · Real Canadian Superstore, 201 Oak Park Blvd. · Fortinos, 173 Lakeshore Rd.
