KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 6 (Bernama) -- The Salvation Army Malaysia will start its fundraising campaign -- Christmas Kettling in Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh and Kuching.
The Salvation Army aims to raise RM50,000 from the Christmas Kettling. For the current financial year, the projected Social Fund expenditure is RM4.6 million and needs to raise over RM2.2 million in donations.
The Christmas Kettling at Citta Mall, Ara Damansara will be held from Dec 7 to 16. The charity sale will sell memorabilia, limited edition merchandise and small gifts to raise funds to support The Salvation Army’s efforts to care for people in need.
The organisation will also collect books whereby the public can donate books that are still in good condition, a statement said.
The fundraising campaign is a tradition that started way back in 1891 in San Francisco by an officer from The Salvation Army to remember those who are less fortunate and to spread the joy of hope and love, especially during the Christmas season.
The Salvation Army Malaysia is a non-profit organisation that provides care for the vulnerable and needy in various states across the country. More information at www.salvationarmy.org/malaysia.
