Our Story

The Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign is a Christmas tradition. It provides vital funds for essential services and programs for the most vulnerable in our community.

The history of the kettle dates back to 1891 where Captain Joseph McFee wanted to help the help the vulnerable in San Francisco, especially during the Christmas season. He remembered, during his earlier days in Liverpool, England, seeing a large kettle where passengers of boats that docked nearby were able to toss coins to help the poor. Captain McFee placed a similar pot at the Oakland Ferry Landing, and encouraged the public to “Keep the Pot Boiling.” He collected enough to host a Christmas dinner for the poor.

The first time a kettle was used in Canada was in Toronto in 1903.
