On Saturday, December 20th, Walmart Canada will match donations made by individuals to The Salvation Army Christmas Kettles located in its stores nationwide up to a maximum of $50,000.
“We are pleased to partner with The Salvation Army, one of Canada’s largest providers of social assistance, and host our fifth Walmart Fill the Kettle Day,” said Erin Mackey, manager of community giving for Walmart Canada. “Walmart is committed to supporting Canadian families in need and we are confident our customers will help The Salvation Army achieve their fundraising goals.”
Since 2007, Walmart Canada and its customers have donated more than $16 million to The Salvation Army, helping to provide vulnerable people a better tomorrow.
“The Salvation Army thanks Walmart Canada for their generous support and their desire to see marginalized and overlooked people treated with dignity and respect,” said Major Les Marshall, territorial public relations and development secretary. “The Salvation Army relies heavily on the support of our generous donors who come alongside to help us provide direct, comassionate, hand-on service to more than 1.8 million people in Canada each year.”
