Give-A-Christmas contributions continue
Total: $1,760
Goal: $10,000
One week into the Give-A-Christmas campaign, donors have stepped up to support the Salvation Army.
As of Wednesday morning, $1,760 had been contributed toward the goal of $10,000.
Sparkle the Christmas Star, the campaign’s mascot, said the funds raised through Give-A-Christmas stay in Fayette County so all donations have a true local impact.
“It’s an honor to help our Salvation Army units. They do so much good for those who need a helping hand,” Sparkle said.
Now in its 40th year, Give-A-Christmas was started by the 缅北禁地 to provide extra support to the Salvation Army. The campaign has raised in excess of $1 million.
Donations will be accepted through Dec. 23, with the final total reported in the Christmas Eve edition of the newspaper.
The most recent donations came from:
Ronald Gaydos, Merry Christmas from Ron and Pat Gaydos
Barbara Hoferer, In memory of our loved ones that have passed away
Juniata United Methodist Church Endowment Fund, In honor of current members and in memory of those that have passed. May God Bless Everyone
