SalvationArmyJamestown (CSi) Lt. Mitch Brecto says, the Jamestown Salvation Army is $65,000  short of its Christmas campaign goal.

The Jamestown Salvation Army is hoping that the Lions Club will take a bite out of the charities fundraising deficit on Wednesday, Dec 18, when the group will match kettles up to $5,000.

Lt. Brecto says, “We appreciate not only the matching money but the fact that the Lions Club members will be putting in 16 hours of bell ringing on the 18th to boot.”

In a typical day $1,200 is raised in Jamestown kettles. “Wednesday could make a significant difference for us but we could still use some help covering the bell ringing hours.”

According to Brecto, getting bell ringers has been even harder than raising funds.

It isn’t too late to volunteer. Kettles will be out until Christmas eve. To volunteer call (701) 252-0290.
