Kettles 2024

The Salvation Army Christmas Kettle Campaign is our major fundraising campaign that occurs each year during the Christmas season. For too many Canadians, the necessities of life needed for basic human dignity are out of reach. Poverty is the root cause that puts dignity out of reach for millions of Canadians, making access to everyday needs, like food, clothing and shelter, difficult. 



Funds raised through donations made at Christmas kettles, together with other sources of funds, help provide direct, compassionate, hands-on service many individuals and families in Kitchener and Waterloo. Funds raised in Waterloo Region stay in Waterloo region to support programs that include: Emergency food support, Share the Warmth, Christmas hampers, parent support, early childhood programs, community drop in, cooking classes, conversation circles, summer camp, Red Cap and so much more.

We are pleased to announce that the 2024 Kettle Season is upon us! And we need your help! We need volunteers to be Bell Ringers!
