The Salvation Army today unveiled the World's Largest Red Kettle at the Stillwater Cub Foods store. Hundreds of people turned out to climb the 10-foot ladder and drop their cash donations into the giant Red Kettle. Cub Foods customers and other community residents took advantage of a 10-to-1 matching program being conducted today only at the Stillwater Cub Foods store. Red Kettle donations at all other Twin Cities Cub Foods stores were matched two-to-one today. The matching program was made possible by a $100,000 anonymous contribution.

'We're thrilled that Cub Foods customers and members of the local community came out in such great numbers to support a great cause,' said Chuck Lynch, vice president of operations for Cub Foods.

'It was great to be able to unveil our brand new Red Kettle - the World's Largest - at Cub Foods because Cub has been very supportive of the Red Kettle campaign over the last several years,' said Major Paul Fleeman, Twin Cities Commander for the Salvation Army.

The World's Largest Kettle will make appearances across the Twin Cities at special events and retail locations during the red kettle campaign, which runs through Dec. 31."
