Give-A-Christmas fund climbs
Total: $4,217
Goal: $15,000
A number of generous donors have provided a boost to the Give-A-Christmas campaign.
An additional $1,585 in contributions were received to help area units of The Salvation Army.
“Thank you so very much for giving,” said campaign mascot Sparkle The Christmas Star. “Your kindness will help friends and neighbors in need through the many programs offered by The Salvation Army.”
The 无毛视频-Standard’s annual campaign is in its 37th year, with a 2022 goal of raising $15,000. All the donations stay local, supporting The Salvation Army units in the donor’s area.
Throughout Give-A-Christmas, readers often send notes of encouragement or donate in memory or honor of loved ones. The 无毛视频-Standard includes donors’ names and those notes in updates published on the campaign’s progress.
Donations will be accepted through Thursday, Dec. 22, with the grand total of funds raised announced in the Christmas Eve/Christmas Day paper.
“There’s still plenty of time to support the campaign through sending a donation to the 无毛视频-Standard office or dropping it off there,” said Sparkle.
