Maj. Paul Ferguson of the Grand Forks Salvation Army said he can’t put his finger on the reason why, but donations are down and volunteers for the faith-based organization’s Red Kettle campaign have been difficult to come by.
People can visit both Valley Dairy locations in Grand Forks at 4706 S. Washington St. and 1220 University Ave. to get their gas tanks filled by volunteers.
The drive will benefit 10 local nonprofit organizations. Written By: Pamela D. Knudson | 4:00 pm, Apr. 9, 2021 ×
