This year’s goal is to collect $300,000. The same goal last year was exceeded by $26,000.
The money will go towards helping vulnerable residents throughout the year. And Salvation Army officer Peter Kim says every bit of change helps.
“Funds go to help people who are homeless, people in need of food…who are in transition in their life. We also help with programming for children, tots, for youth and for seniors as well.”
