Red Kettle campaign begins December 1/Salvation Army
Tap and go donations/Monex
The Salvation Army will test a form of tap-and-donate device this Christmas as it battles to combat the cashless society. The Sally Ann and many other charities have seen willing and sympathetic citizens sadly pass by their kiosks and charity bins because they’re not carrying cash. A pilot project starting December 1 will allow donations at some kettle stations in the Greater Toronto Area. The new tap-and-go machine eliminates having to swipe a card or enter a cash amount or PIN. The machine will be mounted on the side of kettle stands and have three discs to tap, one for a $5 donation, another for $10 and a third for $20. See how it works here.
