The bright red kettles are back!

And we need your help make our Annual Christmas Kettle Campaign
a success. 

The campaign runs Nov. 19 to Dec. 24. Various two-hour shifts are available Monday to Saturday at Canadian Tire, The Real Canadian Superstore, Joly’s Independent, Peter Pond Mall, and Walmart.

What a great way to spend a couple of hours! Volunteers can complete their two hours as an individual, family, work crew, or sports team. You can pair up and cover different kettle locations. You’re welcome to wear your work or team jackets to promote your companies or teams. 

All you need to do is look after the kettle, sanitize after transactions, be friendly and thank people when they make a donation.  

All donations collected during the Christmas Kettle Campaign stay in Fort McMurray and help fund our Community and Family Services department all year.

The Annual Christmas Kettle Campaign is a critical fund-raiser for our Community and Family Services department.

This is a frontline service that works hard to help all who walk through its doors. It helps low income and at-risk families and individuals. It assists all ages, newborn to senior.

This assistance includes providing clothing for the family through our Thrift Store. It can also include help keep the lights and heat on, and a roof over their heads. It can provide emergency food supplies, help pay for medical prescriptions, pre-employment certification (OSSA, CSTS) in order to secure employment, and provide the work boots needed for those successful in finding a job.

Sometimes, it’s simply staff offering a caring ear to hear their daily struggles and knowing there is someone out there who cares. If there is a genuine need, we will do everything we can to meet it, and currently we assist over 400 people per month.

Please help us and volunteer to help ensure a successful Christmas Kettle Campaign to assist our Community and Family Services department all year.

Thank you.
