Salvation Army seeks more Christmas spirit amid donations drop
The Salvation Army reports kettle donations down 25 percent after two weeks, risking an $12,000 shortfall from last year’s $40,000. Captain Jim Baker eyes limiting bell ringers, trimming purchases, and boosting volunteers as two fundraisers, the Motorcycle Toy Run and a food collection, strive to lift support for Christmas aid and year‑round needs.
