APPLETON -- It’s more than just meals for the holidays and gifts under the tree for kids in need. They're the people who are around when you need them the most: Meals for families in need and responding to needs after fires. That's the true job of the Salvation Army.
"Early projections show we're going to be down a little," he said. "We're going to be a little short but people can still donate."
The campaign goal was $1.2 million, from the kettles, corporate matching funds and donations that were mailed in. That goal is 60% of the Salvation Army’s operating budget for the entire year.
Without continued help those services could be in jeopardy.
"It's important we keep the doors open.. whether its childcare or a loaf of bread families need us"
