The St. Joseph Salvation Army has put away its red kettles but the organization is still asking for help to meat its $350,000 goal.

“There’s still plenty of time to donate if you haven’t already and help those who are less fortunate in our community,” said Captain Chuck Cook. “Our Christmas Campaign runs through January 31 and these last few weeks are critical toward helping us reach our goal”

Funds raised go to support Salvation Army programs in St. Joseph for the entire year.

“We are thankful to everyone who supported us during the Christmas season, whether they dropped money in a kettle, volunteered to bell ring or helped us provide Christmas gifts to underprivileged children,” said Captain Cook. “We are bracing for even greater need throughout the state of Missouri this coming year and are depending on the generosity of others in the community to help us provide support for families and individuals in crisis.”
