www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Friday, November 21, 2014 | 14 Kettle Campaign supports community beyond the holidays continued from p.13 funds programs throughout the year. That money goes a long, long way." The Salvation Army Christmas Kettle Campaign officially kicked off last Friday at the tree lighting ceremony downtown. Volunteers are still needed to ensure that kettles are out at all 11 locations to help meet the fundraising goal. Volunteers supervise the kettles for three-hour shifts with morning, afternoon and evening shifts available. Anyone interested in volunteering can call Viviane Huynh at 289-981-0655. Robinson said it is a great opportunity for families and companies to get involved and for students to earn volunteer hours. This year, the Salvation Army of Oakville has set a goal of $115,000 for its kettle campaign, a slight bump from the $110,000 raised last year. All donations stay in the community to fund programs such as the Salvation Army's food bank and emergency shelters. "We have set our sights high but we're confident the community will continue to support us," Robinson said. "Last year, we were able to assist 400 families, so the money definitely helps." The Salvation Army will also team up again with The Running Room to host the Santa Shuffle Fun Run and Elf Walk on Saturday, Dec. 6. Runners can register as individuals ($30; children 12-and-under, $20), families ($85) or companies ($225). There will be a one-kilometre walk and five-kilometre run options. To register, visit www.santashuffle.ca, click on the register/cities tab and select Oakville. And, in keeping with holiday tradition, the Salvation Army will launch its annual toy drive Monday (Nov. 24) at Oakville Place. Anyone wishing to donate a gift can drop it off at Toy Mountain in the Leighland Avenue shopping centre any time before Dec. 23. Gifts can also be dropped off at the Salvation Army office at 1225 Rebecca St. All gifts are welcome, but there is usually a particular need for gifts for teens, items such as gift cards, electronics and clothing. To apply for the Christmas assistance program, bring a piece of identification for each member of the family and proof of residence to the Salvation Army office Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to noon or 1-4 p.m. The Salvation Army will also hold its annual Christmas Fellowship Dinner Monday, Dec. 15 at St. Paul's Church. Tickets, which are free, can be picked up at the Salvation Army office during office hours. Volunteers are also needed for the dinner service.
