2025 Poppy Campaign

Once again it is time to turn our focus to Remembrance Day and the 2025 Poppy Campaign.

I urge all Kingsway members to volunteer. Our Veterans and active service members need “Your Help”. 

We are looking for members to work as Mall Sitters, Drivers, Route Managers etc. There are over 194 volunteer positions that need to be filled and we can only succeed with your support. We have reduced our volunteer requirements from previous years but our numbers still remain high.

Please help us by signing up early so we can confirm all positions are filled. Sign up sheets are now located in the hall just outside the boardroom.
