FARGO, N.D. The Salvation Army wraps up last year’s Red Kettle campaign as they announce the results of their largest fundraiser of the year.
With implications of the pandemic, the Salvation Army says they anticipated many more people in need of help in 2020 compared to previous years.
As a result, the red kettles were down $60,000 from the previous year as they say they saw a decrease in foot traffic.
“As you know, our goal was to raise $900,000. It is our largest fundraising campaign of the year and today I’m happy to report to you that we raised $890,425. So a little bit short of our $900,000 goal but extremely significant,” Salvation Army Corps Officer Maj. Jerry O’Neil said.

Community advocates are urging the Gympie regionâs housing crisis be fixed as it continues to impact some of the highest socio-economically disadvantaged neighbourhoods in the country.
Census data captured in 2016 (the most recent available) revealed Tin Can Bay and the Toolara Forest areas were not only the most socio-economically disadvantaged in the Gympie region â based on its SEIFA (Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas) score â but in the country; 94 per cent of other Australian suburbs were better off.
This was followed closely by Gympie city.
The northern areas of Curra, Gunalda and Corella had the third highest level of disadvantage in the region, with Cooloola Cove and Rainbow Beach, and the Kilkivan and Goomeri districts rounding out the âtopâ five.
