Tuesday, the Salvation Army issued an update on their 2020 Christmas Season Fundraising Goal. The goal was increased this year to $560,000 due to the need being even greater than in years past. As of Dec 28th, the SA was at 97% ($543,000) of its goal, with the hope that end of the year 2020 gifts yet to be given and new early in the year gifts in 2021 will help them fully reach the target.
The Salvation Army also contributed the following stats during this 2020 Campaign:
$135,000 was donated in the Red Kettles in front of stores.
44 different Virtual Kettles raised a total of $13,500.
Significant foundations and businesses along with Christmas Season Sponsor donations helped meet the matching gift challenge of $25,000 for each of the 2 events.
Gurneys, Guns, & Hoses (while having only 3 of the 5 First Responder Groups ringing) still raised nearly $15,000.
Out of a total of 2,976 ringing hours, 11% (339) were volunteers
The Salvation Army wants to thank those in the community that made a donation of funds or time to help make this past Christmas Season such a blessing. Together, we do the most good.
