With the clock ticking on the Red Kettle campaign, the Grand Forks Salvation Army is well short of its goal.
According to Maj. Paul Ferguson close to $88,000 had been raised as of Wednesday afternoon.
Ferguson says he hasn’t given up on reaching the goal of about $176,000. “If we don’t make it through the kettles maybe a month later a big check will show up or a truck full of food.”
Ferguson says last week they found a surprise in one kettles. “A Maple Leaf gold coin worth about $1,800 dollars.”
This month’s “Big Ring” event raised $37,000.
The Kettle campaign ends Friday at 2:00 p.m.
Ferguson says you can also donate by mail – or go to the local Salvation Army office at 1600 University Avenue.
