Total: $5,193 Goal: $20,000 Contributions to Give-A-Christmas continue to come in, with the annual donation drive for The Salvation Army coming to a close soon. “Christmas Eve is just around the corner, and we want to give our local service centers of The Salvation Army as much help as we can,” said Sparkle, the campaign’s mascot. “Our total stands at $5,193, but our goal is $20,000.
I believe we can make it, but we need your help.” In its 39th year, Give-A-Christmas accepts donations for The Salvation Army, with 100% of the contributions staying in our local communities. “That’s always been the hallmark of our fund drive – we want to make the most impact for local people who need help,” Sparkle said.
Donations for the program will be accepted through Dec. 23, with the final total announced in the Christmas Eve edition of the Herald-Standard. The most recent contributions came from: Ben and Phyllis Jin of Uniontown Marlene and Mary Elaine Cushma of California David M.
