The Bank of the Bahamas (BOB) helped kick off the annual Salvation Army kettle drive at the Mall at Marathon recently with a donation of $1,000, hoping to encourage corporate donors to give generously.
The kettle drive touches the lives of more than 6,000 persons during the holidays providing hot meals, food parcels, toys and care packages for those in need and visiting shut-ins and the elderly.
The familiar sight and sound of a bright red kettle and ringing bell stationed at the entrances of grocery stores and malls is synonymous with sharing during the holiday season for many Bahamians.
