Jamestown (CSi) The Jamestown Salvation Army as of Tuesday was still 30 percent behind attaining this year’s goal of $156,000.

On Tuesday’s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2, Major Tim Nauta said, the $156,000 goal was reached two years ago, but the same goal fell short, last year.

He said if the goal is not met, it may mean cutting services and assistance provide by the Jamestown Salvation Army.

He added that the need by individuals and families continues to grow each year.

Those wishing to be a bell ringer at a kettle may call the Salvation Army at 252-0290, or stop by the headquarters on First Avenue North in Jamestown.

He pointed out that Wednesday and Thursday this week, December 16, 17, 2015 a benefactor has promised to double every dollar in the kettles.

The kettles are located at the two Cashwise entrances, two entrances at The Home of Economy, and Sears at the Buffalo Mall.

Nearly 200 Angel Tree gifts have been purchased, and the gifts and Christmas Basket distributions are set for Wednesday (Dec 16, 2015).
