SalvationArmyBellringing1Jamestown  (CSi)  The Jamestown Salvation Army ended the 2016 Christmas Campaign short of the $157,000 goal, collecting just $96,000.

Major Tim Nauta says, the Red Kettles netted $56,000, as the campaign wrapped up last Saturday.  The balance coming from the Salvation Army’s mail, individual donations and revenue from the thrift store.

Donations are still accepted  when paying for items at Hugo’s Family Marketplace.

Online donations through salvationarmynorth.org/community/jamestown  are to be  distributed to the local Salvation Army by the donor’s zip code. The deadline for donating in 2016 is Saturday, December, 31.

A tax-deductible check can also be mailed or delivered to the Salvation Army, 320 1st Avenue,  North Jamestown, ND  58401.

Nauta stresses that unless fundraising goals are met there will be cuts to services. There will be continuing  efforts to raise funds in 2017 to help keep programs.
