On December 1, the Salvation Army Korea Territory (commander: Kim Pil-su) held the “first bell” ceremony at Seoul Plaza in Jung-gu, Seoul, to begin this year’s red kettle campaign. Fifty thousand volunteers will participate in the fundraising at some 400 spots in 76 regions across the nation, up until December 31. This year’s target is 7,580,000,000 won.
Commander Kim Pil-su said, “The red kettles have reinforced the meaning of sharing among all people, by enabling them to practice small acts of love behind the scenes. We hope to restore new hope among our marginalized neighbors and give them happy days, through this sharing of red-kettle love.”
