The Salvation Army is thanking Londoners for their generosity after the Christmas Kettle campaign reeled in nearly $600,000.
The number is well over the campaign’s goal of $550,000 and spokesperson Shannon Wise told 980 CFPL that the final number may even higher, with last-minute donations still being tallied.
This year’s numbers follow a successful trend for the Salvation Army.

Last year’s campaign also surpassed its goal of $550,000, which at the time was the highest target goal ever for the Ontario Great Lakes Division of the Salvation Army.
