Officials with the Salvation Army in Western Pennsylvania say this year’s fundraising effort surpassed their goal.
As part of their 2023 Red Kettle campaign, the Salvation Army was able to collect more than their $2.4 million target.
Three days before Christmas Eve administrators reported that they were only 75% of the way to their goal but donations continued to be received online through the Salvation Army website.
Officials say the funds will ensure that the organization will be able to continue offering critical services across 28 counties including feeding programs, rent and utility assistance, youth empowerment, and spiritual programs.
