Kettle Campaign Surpasses Goal

The Salvation Army of Sarnia's 2015 Red Kettle Campaign is being termed a big success.

Salvation Army Captain Nancy Braye says despite a slow start, they were able to raise just over $126,000.

She says that's well above the $118,000 goal.

Captain Braye says all of the kettle donations stay in Sarnia to assist with the food bank program for needy families.

She says they've set the 2016 campaign goal at $120,000.
