The generosity of Regina residents came through during the Salvation Army’s annual Christmas Kettle Campaign, a crucial fundraiser for the organization.
Capt. Kristen Gray told the Greg Morgan Morning Show on Tuesday she was concerned the fundraiser would struggle to gain contributions during the COVID-19 pandemic, with fewer people leaving their homes and even fewer carrying cash.
It turned out she didn’t have to worry. The campaign raised $247,000, exceeding the Sally Ann’s target by $22,000.
“People just stepped up in a huge way this year and we’re just over-the-moon thrilled with the results,” Gray said.
