Edmonton Public School Teachers Local Union 37 Support Chirstmas Kettle Campaign

Every year, The Salvation Army puts out those well-known Christmas Kettles to raise funds for the work of The Salvation Army in communities across Canada. With economic concerns and an increase in demand for services, The Salvation Army in Edmonton was looking to raise $450,000 during the month of December.

On December 22, 2009 Mr. Ed Butler, President of the Edmonton Public School Teachers Local Union 37, made a donation in the amount of $5,000 towards the Christmas Kettle Campaign, at a West Edmonton Mall kettle location.

No strangers to The Salvation Army, the Edmonton Public School Teachers Local Union 37 have been donors since
1983. During this time, they have donated a total of $213,320 to assist people in need in our community. 

Thanks to the support of so many, including the Edmonton Public School Teachers Local Union 37, this year The Salvation Army was able to exceed its goal and raise $473,335.15. These funds will be used to assist families in need throughout the year with necessities like food, clothing and shelter. The money also helps to fund programs such as counselling, suicide prevention, seniors’ programming, and life and parenting skills.
