Salvation Army units short on Christmas goals across region
Salvation Army units in the region trail last year in donations, with Princeton down about 2200 dollars and Bluefield 30000 dollars behind. Major Raymond Pruitt cites economy and fewer kettle sites as factors. Volunteers and a Friday Saturday Fill the Truck event at Princeton Walmart are urged to help, as the Bluefield unit aims to aid nearly 475 children and 300 families.
