The Salvation Army is at risk of not reaching the $1 million fundraising goal set for its 2020 Christmas kettle campaign, and says donations are "desperately needed."

An annual tradition for Corus Radio London, the toy drive first began more than a decade ago on what as then The Taz Show on FM96.

The new digital donations help curb the spread of COVID-19 by reducing the amount of physical touch and handling of cash associated with contributing to the campaign.

A touchless tap option for debit or credit cards will be added to the Salvation Army's kettles in Guelph.

A group of volunteers with Islamic Relief Canada are making around 400 hygiene kits to help the city's most vulnerable stay healthy.

“Reaching our goal means we can continue to provide life-changing programs for the most vulnerable in London,” the organization said.

Last year’s Drive-Thru Toy Drive reeled in a record-setting $29,000.

With her weekly pick of fun things to do on the weekend, here is the rundown from Global News Morning's Kahla Evans.

The Salvation Army has been told by Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries that they will no longer be allowed to solicit donations through their kettle campaign at Manitoba Liquor Marts.

According to Environment Canada, the overnight forecast sees the low with windchill is -23, getting as low as -25 Thursday morning.
