Ambitious goal for this year’s Salvation Army fundraiser

Nov 23, 2022 | 1:00 PM

The Prince Albert Salvation Army is hoping to raise $100,000 this year during its annual Christmas kettle campaign.

Major Ed Dean, who heads the Communities Ministry, said that all of the money they raise is spent in the Prince Albert area.

“We’re serving 170 meals, three times a week, so a lot of those funds will go directly into funding those meals,” Dean said.

The requests have increased this year and as of Wednesday morning, 550 families had applied for toy hampers, a significant increase over last year’s total of 297.
