The Salvation Army’s 2025 Christmas kettle campaign was a resounding success, raising a total of $22.7 million across Canada. Hundreds of kettle shifts were filled by dedicated volunteers in each community, with supporters nationwide generously giving throughout the holiday season.

“Kettles are iconic and allow supporters across our territory to engage and give to The Salvation Army. Most importantly, these funds enable our mission throughout the year,” says Janet Park, chief development officer.

Of the total, $22.25 million was raised directly through kettles, with cashless TipTap donations contributing $3.75 million. In addition, National Recycling Operations’ goodworks@work kettle campaign raised $498,846, exceeding its goal by 43 percent. Staff at Salvation Army thrift stores across the country engaged 110,000 donors, and 11.1 percent of all transactions included a donation.

Together, these efforts brought the total kettle campaign revenue to $22.7 million.

Bermuda also had a successful season, with its kettle campaign raising $63,571 to support Salvation Army ministry on the island. “We know that front-line officers, staff and volunteers work tirelessly for the kettle campaign,” says Park. “Thank you for your excellent efforts.”
