The Salvation Army fundraising challenges are rising and the possible impact of inflation could be part of the issue.
The current inflation rate is up nearly 8% from last year. Community care centers say they feel the pressure.
"Driving conditions are impossible if you were to go out there right now. There's debris falling from buildings, trees are coming down," said Paul Middendorf, Director of Crowdsource Rescue, a non-profit that came into existence after Hurricane Harvey.
The organization said they struggled to fill more than 100 bell ringing sites this year across Bexar County and New Braunfels.
