Proud to work for The Salvation Army.

For those of you who don’t know, I work downtown at the Salvation Army social services office. Today and tomorrow several anonymous donors have given us a challenge – Raise up to 1.25 million dollars, and they will TRIPLE match every donation.

Read more about it here: Salvation Army’s Match Challenge 2009

This means for every dollar you put in a red Salvation Army kettle, the donors will give us $3 triple matching that donation. Every cent is important, so to anyone reading this (especially in Minnesota and North Dakota) please donate! Even if it’s 50 cents.

I had a gentleman come into our office this morning and handed over a cashier’s check for $1,000. He chose to be anonymous and said that he hopes we can help several people with his donation. Since today is a triple match day, The Salvation Army gets $4,000!!!! That will feed (3 meals) and shelter approximately 130 people for one night.

Thank you so much for those who have donated or plan to donate to The Salvation Army. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

- Krystle
