Salvation Army’s
Red Kettle goal met
I would like to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation to everyone who made The Salvation Army’s 2011 Red Kettle Program such a huge success. To the many organizations, clubs, businesses and individuals who rang the bells, thank you very much. Also, I would like to thank the businesses who matched kettle funds and the clubs who “passed the hat” and donated the money to the Red Kettle Program. These funds will go a long way in accomplishing my goals for helping the young and elderly in our community who need help the most.
My goal was to raise $100,000 and it was accomplished through the efforts of so many. All money donated, whether small or large, helped to accomplish the goal we set. Vicksburg has welcomed me and my family with open arms since I was assigned here in June 2011 (during the middle of The Great Flood of 2011) and we are so appreciative of the welcome and the community’s response to helping us when and where needed.
