Tom Mullenix from the Salvation Army of Door County had almost thrown the towel in before you came through in a big way. Ahead of the final weekend, Mullenix forecasted they would raise approximately $50,000 to support residents in need, about half of what they raised in 2021. He was pleasantly surprised when he learned that over $30,000 was collected in the final week, giving them over $80,000 for the month-long campaign. Mullenix says the extra money will go a long way to supporting the community's needs, which only grow with each passing year.
Nearly $30,000 was raised between November 23rd and December 24th in Kewaunee County during its Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign. That is well over $6,000 more than in 2022 when just shy of $23,000 was raised was collected. Nationwide, the Red Kettle Campaign raises over $100 million for the Salvation Army.
