BOISE, Idaho (CBS2) — That spare change. That extra dollar.
It all adds up.
The Salvation Army is hoping to raise another $117,000 before Christmas to reach its fundraising goals and to help keep "critical programs alive and serving those in the most need."
"We are so grateful for the community’s support throughout the year, and right now, we are asking that everyone dig a little deeper and give a nickel, quarter, dollar or more at the next kettle they see,” says Major Thomas Stambaugh, Corps Officer at The Salvation Army Boise Corps. “Your donations can literally change lives and without it, we will be faced with some difficult decisions that we don’t want to have to make – which services and opportunities we will have to cut to make up for the loss in kettle income.”
Red Kettles can be found at Walmarts, Fred Meyers and Macys. Kettles will return to Albertsons’ locations on Thursday.
