APPLETON (NBC 26) -- From Thanksgiving turkeys to Christmas chickens.

The Salvation Army Fox Cities and Chick-Fil-A partnered up Tuesday. For every chicken sandwich sold, the restaurant donated one dollar to the Salvation Army.

"We realized that with our Red Kettle campaign, which is our largest fundraiser, is going to be significantly down. So, we needed to find ways to partner with our community in order to get together and get donations, so we don't have to make any hard decisions on cutting programs by the end of the year."

Those red kettle donations are expected to drop by about 50% in 2020.
