APPLETON (NBC 26) -- The Salvation Army Fox Cities says funds raised through the organization’s iconic red kettles are at risk this year.

The organization says it expects to see a 50% decrease of donations in the red kettles due to fewer volunteers and shoppers. At the same time, Salvation Army Fox Cities says it has seen an 36% increase in its food program.

As the need increases this year, the organization is promoting multiple links that the public can click on to donate.
