Thousands of caring individuals have sacrificed time, braved the cold, offered their facilities during The Salvation Army's Red Kettle Campaign. I would like to thank all of you who have given so much -- as businesses, as bellringers, as service volunteers and as donors. Without you, the miracle of The Salvation Army helping those in need would not be happening all around upstate New York.
Funds raised through the Red Kettle Campaign in your community will be used by local Salvation Army units to assist families and individuals in crisis and for other special projects based on the needs of the local community and county.
The Salvation Army's Empire State Division oversees services in four Area Services in Albany, Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse, 47 corps in smaller cities and 170 volunteer service units in towns and villages in the 48 Upstate New York counties. We help in these areas because you help us.
Thank you and may God bless you throughout the year.
