December 23, 2020 - 7:30 PM The Salvation Army nationwide may be reporting a significant loss this month for its largest fundraiser, but in the Thompson-Okanagan the churches are on track to meet or even exceed their fundraising goals. “Our Christmas campaign has gone very well here in Kelowna. We won’t have final numbers for a little while yet but we are on target to not only meet our goal but exceed it for this season,” said Darryl Burry, executive director with the city’s Salvation Army. The $650,000 budget for the kettle campaign was set before the pandemic began. “We were anticipating to struggle this year to meet the target,” he said, adding they were surprised to find that they will meet it.
