Salvation Army Major Debbie Allen reports they again had a successful Christmas kettle and hamper program in the Flin Flon area.  She says they gave out 160 hampers that cost them about 11 thousand dollars.  She adds they raised 15 thousand 322 dollars on the Christmas kettles plus she has about 5 to 6 thousand dollars in cheques she hasn’t deposited yet.

Major Allen says 11 thousand dollars will cover the cost of the hampers and they have 10 thousand left to operate the rest of the year with their soup days and other programs.
