Salvation Army’s Red Kettles Come Up Short
December 26, 2009
Preliminary numbers show that the Salvation Army’s red kettle campaign was about $50,000 shy of its Christmas goal.
It was hoped that the Escambia and Santa Rosa campaign would generate $300,000 by Christmas Eve. Instead, the campaign brought in about $250,000 for winter programs, including Christmas gifts and utility bill assistance for needy residents in the two-county area.
The Christmas Eve total for donations in the two counties was about $3,000, down from a normal $8,000 to $10,000.
While the Salvation Army’s red kettles are normally gone after Christmas, local organizers said they may extend the campaign until New Year’s Eve.

Yeah, every little bit helps but with todays economy it’s hard to help out with anything.
With times like today, I think every little bit helps…
