SECRET SANTA ALERT!

Anonymous Donors Drop Two Gold Coins in Salvation Army Red Kettles

 

The Salvation Army found two Gold Coins in their Red Kettles this week at the Walmart in Indiana and the Walgreens in Zelienople, each valued at $1,400. The donor was anonymous, commonly referred to as Secret Santa. Because Thanksgiving fell on the last week of November, the Salvation Army has had less time this year to run its red kettle campaign, so large donations like this go a long way to help reach their goal.

Red Kettle contributions stay right here in Western Pennsylvania and help serve those in need all year round. Now in its 129th year, The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign is one of the oldest and largest charitable campaigns in the world. Every year, the campaign raises millions of dollars to provide toys for kids at Christmas, clothes and shelter for the homeless, food for the hungry, after-school programs for kids, and other services to America’s most vulnerable populations year-round.
