The Salvation Army in London, Ont., has launched its 2022 Christmas Kettle Campaign with a goal of raising $550,000 for people and families in need.
The campaign brings in funds for life necessities such as food, clothing and shelter.
The Salvation Army says it’s seen a dramatic increase in seniors and families with children who need assistance as inflation, economic uncertainty and the pandemic continue on.
