Burnett County Salvation Army Meets Red Kettle Goal
The Salvation Army kettles in Burnett County meet goal
The Burnett County Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign has come to a close. The organization’s annual campaign had a goal of raising $40,000 in November and December to help fund their programs that include: Faith House Shelter, Emergency Vouchers for Heat, Electric, Rent and their Food Backpack Program that helps to feed kids in need.
The goal of $40,000 is crucial to the organization in helping to fund the day to day needs of Faith House Shelter and the other programs. Faith House provides a warm place to stay, case management and connections to resources in order for individuals and families to find and maintain permanent housing. The Salvation Army in Burnett County is pleased to announce that with the help of many awesome donors and volunteer bell ringers the organization was able to raise $39,740.04!
Local Salvation Army Director Duana Bremer said, “We are so pleased with the donations this year. It helps us help others when our kettles are filled. We are thankful for everyone involved in making it successful.” If you would like to learn more or send in support the address is: 7764 W.
