The Salvation Army kettle campaign is falling short of its goal of $70,000 and is looking for more support from the community.
Major James Hägglund of the Salvation Army said that although it is beginning to look like an “impossible task” to push the current kettle donations of $26,220 to $70,000 by Christmas Eve, he is still hopeful.
“Those less fortunate in Fernie need others to care about them and Fernie is a community that cares,” said Hägglund.
Donations can be sent to the Salvation Army Box 2259 and donations in the form of a cheque or cash can be placed in the kettles stationed at Overwaitea and Extra Foods.
