Still a long way to go! Salvation Army needs your help with the Red Kettle Campaign

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - The Salvation Army in Yuma needs your help reaching its goal in their largest annual fundraiser. This year is the 135th Red Kettle Campaign which raises money for the Salvation Army for the entire year.

As of today, they’ve raised $77,500, but they are still short around $52,000 of their $130,000 goal.

"But just know that all of these dollars, every single dollar, every single penny is helping somebody else in the community that's less fortunate. And we all need help sometimes in our lives, and it just brings me great joy to be able to continue to serve the community," said Salvation Army Christmas coordinator Cristina McInnes.

Christmas Eve is the last day of bell ringing. You can register online to volunteer or find volunteers outside several local stores like Hobby Lobby and Walmart to donate. Families can still help and support through the end of the year by giving online on their website.
