INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — With five days left till Christmas The Salvation of Indian River County is edging closer to the goal of $80,000. As of Tuesday, the Salvation Army was at $73,000 or 89 percent of its goal.
“Your pocket change will make the difference whether The Salvation Army makes its goal or not this holiday season,” Salvation Army organizers said. “Your change will help make change in our community for 2012 year and help The Salvation Army ‘Do The Most Good’ with your generosity.”
This year, The Salvation Army will need just as much support as ever and is asking the public to take notice of all the Red Kettles that are out in front of many retail locations in Indian River County during these final five days ending Dec. 24 and make a donation to The Salvation Army.
Some of these locations include Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club, Publix, Walgreens, K-Mart, Winn Dixie and The Post Office.
The Red Kettle Campaign is the major fund-raiser for The Salvation Army and helps to support all its programs for the entire 2012 year.
“The Salvation Army is only as successful as its generous donors and community members, volunteers and sponsors allow it to be,” the organization said. “Without the help and support of this community, we would never be able to maintain our progress and service. We need our community support this Christmas and look forward to exceeding our Red Kettle Campaign goal.”
