Salvation Army’s fundraising campaign getting a boost with matching donations Thursday and Saturday
Woodstock’s mayor and its Rotary Club hope to boost donations to the Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign this week by overseeing the kettles on two separate days and matching contributions.
On Thursday, Dec. 19, Mayor Trina Jones will volunteer at the Sobeys kettle and match the contributions.
Jones noted her plans to support the kettle campaign during opening remarks at the Dec. 17 council meeting. She explained she would match donations on the day up to $1,750, meaning donors can double their contributions on Thursday.
Jones said staff at Best Western Woodstock, as they did last year, will support her at the Sobeys kettle during the day.
“I’m not doing that alone, but with the awesome staff at the Best Western, plus probably a few other fillers. They will be on the kettle with me, switching in and out. I will be there from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.”
Donors can again double their contributions on Saturday, Dec. 21, when the Woodstock Rotary Club will volunteer and match donations at the Sobeys kettle.
