Clinton News Record, 2016-01-06, Page 7Record breaking year! Lieutenant Submitted Photo Laura Hickman with daughter Lily and Christmas Kettle Campaign Coordinator Jennifer Pritchard celebrate the record year in 2015 for the Salvation Army Christmas Kettle Campaign. David Hickman, Lieutenant The Salvation Army The Salvation Army is cel- ebrating a very successful 2015 Christmas Kettle Cam- paign after surpassing its $73,500 target. After tallying up the last of the contribu- tions, the total for this years campaign was over $82,500. Once again the commu- nity has demonstrated great support for the ongoing work of The Salvation Army. All money raised in this campaign stays in the local community and helps main- tain the two Community and Family Services offices in Goderich and Clinton. Lieutenant David Hick- man said "we would not have been able to achieve this record breaking total if it were not for the countless volunteers and groups who helped stand at the kettle locations. Everyone worked so very hard to achieve this tremendous success, we gave the campaign 110 per- cent of our effort and it paid 100% OF OLG PROCEEDS ARE INVESTED IN MAKING ONTARIO BETTER.

Hickman says "it's a great responsibility and priv- ilege to be trusted with an individual's charitable giving and we do not take that for granted. We are very mindful of the level of confidence that the public has in The Salvation Army and they can be assured that we treat all donations with integrity and accountability." Despite the national and regional economy not being the greatest, the community really came through for the Christmas Kettle Campaign, and The Salvation Army is deeply grateful for the tre- mendous support it has received throughout 2015. Together we are making a big difference in the lives of many within our commu- nity; and with this record breaking year we will have the capacity to help a little more. It's time to celebrate the wonderful community we live in!
