The distinctive red kettles manned by volunteers for the Salvation Army are out again for the Christmas season.

In the foothills, Lieutenant Kelly Fifield says it's their biggest fundraiser of the year.

"All of the money that's raised through our kettle campaign, it stays locally within the foothills and that's the money that allows us to do what we do throughout the rest of the year," she says.

She says they're always looking for people to stand and ring those bells and bring in the donations.

If you'd like to help out you can call Terez Driver at 403-993-8975 or contact her at foothillskettle@gmail.com.

If you don't usually carry cash you can donate to their virtual kettle on-line.
