There is something so iconic about the red buckets and the ringing bells during the holiday season. It signals the ushering in of the season of giving. The idea that your donation can contribute to something bigger than you. Before we know it the season will be upon us and the Salvation Army Kettle Brigade will be ready.
Brought to life in 1891 by
Army Captain Joseph Mcfee, the "kettle" was his brainchild to help fund a giant Christmas dinner for the poverty stricken and downtrodden in San Francisco. What started in one community has spread to many more and helps the Salvation army provide much needed assistance to individuals in Grays Harbor County.
The Kettle Klash is a yearly event that helps to kickoff the season of the red buckets with a bang. The Salvation Army's goal is always to raise the highest amount of funds possible to help provide the aid that many need and this annual luncheon is always great fun. Lunch from O'Briens and entertainment is included, the Kettle Klash will be November 16th from noon to one with doors opening at 11:30. Join other kettle klashers at the corner of scammel and cherry streets in Aberdeen to participate. Admission is $13/person and for more information you can contact Nancy Neisinger @ 360-533-0329.
