Scotiabank has partnered with the Salvation Army on its ‘Christmas in July’ initiative themed, Need Has No Season, to sponsor one of their popular red kettles.

“Community is at the heart of all we do at Scotiabank. We are happy to partner with the Salvation Army on Christmas in July as its community center, feeding programmes and school for the blind impact tens of thousands of persons each year, all year round,” said Maxine Seymour, Manager, Public & Corporate Affairs, Sponsorships & Philanthropy, Scotiabank.

The Scotiabank sponsored kettle has been stationed at various branch locations throughout New Providence during the month accompanied by Salvation Army volunteers ringing the customary bells in an effort to garner public support.
