"This means we'll be able to help more children," said Capt. Maurice Collins of the Charlottetown Salvation Army.

"We're delighted," he said.

Capt. Maurice Collins, community and family services program co-ordinator for the Salvation Army in Charlottetown, says he is concerned about falling short of this year's target of $125,000.

As of two days ago $80,000 had been collected, largely through the Army's kettle appeal.

Last year at this time the total was more than $85,000, said Collins, who is optimistic Islanders will make an extra effort on the last day of the appeal to fill kettles with cash and coins.

Kettles will be removed from all Island locations by 2 p.m. tomorrow (Saturday), Christmas Eve.

Collins said he had "no idea" why donations were down over the same period last year.

Maurice Collins, program co-ordinator for Community and Family Services with the Charlottetown Salvation Army, said he was heartened by last night's fundraiser at Charlottetown's Trinity United Church, which raised $4,000.

The Salvation Army's annual Kettle Appeal has been disappointing so far, with donations apparently down throughout the Maritimes, said Collins.

Maurice Collins, community and family services program co-ordinator for the P.E.I. Salvation Army, said the idea was hatched over a cup of coffee.

Collins said the money collected will go directly to the countries affected by the Dec. 26 tsunami, which killed 156,000 people when waves triggered by an earthquake in the Indian Ocean crashed into the coasts of 11 countries in Asia and Africa.

“The idea behind this is to get the money over to the countries suffering from the disaster,†he said.
