Salvation Army kettles are getting heavier as donations come in.

 

Thompson Director Roy Bladen says they raised over $3,000 this past weekend, bringing their total up to $16,000. However that’s not all they collected over the weekend.

 

Thompson RCMP hosted a “Fill-A-Cruiser” event to collect toys for the Salvation Army’s toy drive. 220 toys were donated, in addition to 275 items of food and $365. 

 

Thompsonites also donated to Operation Red Nose, who gave 60 rides over the weekend, collecting over $1300.

 

Both Operation Red Nose and the Salvation Army Kettle Drive continue this weekend.
