The holiday season will quickly be upon us and the local Salvation Army are looking for volunteers to help make the season bright.
Volunteers are being sought to fill a number of kettle shifts as Captain Ian Scott with the Salvation Army explains.
"This is one of the times of the year that we get to engage with the community. So alot of folks enjoy coming out and taking a two-hour shift on the kettles and seeing friends, family and the other shoppers. So were just asking if people are interested in standing for two hours on a kettle shift."
Scott adds its a great opportunity to smile, say hi to folks and spend some time and not get caught up in the hustle and bustle just yet.
Scott explains where the kettles can be found this year.
"The kettles this year are at the Wheatland Mall just outside Co-op, or at Walmart, Canadian Tire, the Swift Current Mall outside of Safeway and Pharmasave."
Anyone interested in more information or volunteering for a shift can call the kettle coordinator at 306-741-4763.
The Salvation Army are also involved in a number of other seasonal events including the upcoming Toys Days, Teddy Bear Toss and the CPKC Holiday Train.
