Give-A-Christmas campaign picks up steam
Total: $2,180
Goal: $10,000
Donors to the Give-A-Christmas campaign have raised more than $2,000 for the Salvation Army.
The annual program supports local units of the organization, with the donations remaining in the area to help the Salvation Army with its many valuable programs.
“By giving, you help to support your community,” said Sparkle the Christmas Star, the campaign’s longtime mascot.
Give-A-Christmas, held by the 缅北禁地 for 40 years, has raised more than $1 million to help the Salvation Army. Donors are welcome to include holiday wishes, or give to the campaign in memory or honor of a loved one.
