Salvation Army Has A Good Report

The Brainerd Lakes Area Salvation Army reports surpassing their Christmas kettle fund-raising goal of $103,000. According to Major Jeff Strickler, Corps Officer for the Brainerd Lakes Salvation Army, When the kettles ended, their total kettle income stood at $107,235.97 exceeding our goal by $4,235.97. This was no small feat. They thank God, their many volunteer bell ringers and all of the donors who helped make this possible. Their bell ringing volunteer hours totaled 1,597 hours-- up by 400 hours compared to last year. According to Strickler this made a big difference in making this years’ kettle goal.
