Byers' Choice African American Salvation Army
In 1891, a
Captain in The Salvation Army wanted to offer free Christmas dinners to the poor
of San Francisco. But how would he pay for it? As he went about his
daily tasks, the Captain remembered his days in Liverpool, England. There,
donations were thrown into a "Simpson's pot" and later distributed to the poor.
Thus inspired, Captain Joseph McFee set up the first Christmas kettle.
Today, these red kettles have become a familiar symbol of Christmas. Each
year, The Salvation Army assists more than 4.5 million individuals during
Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, offering food, clothing, toys and
fellowship to many who would otherwise be forgotten. Byers' Choice is
proud to introduce this special edition of the Carolers in honor of the 100th
year of the Salvation Army Christmas kettles. A portion of the proceeds
from these figurines will go directly to the Salvation Army.
