The Salvation Army – Vernon campaign is $20,000 behind last year’s target.
There are just 11 days to go in the campaign.
“First and foremost, we want to thank our community for their tremendous support,” said Lt. Stefan Reid of The Salvation Army – Vernon. “The funds that are raised at Christmas not only help out individuals and families during the holiday season but it provides much-needed support all year round.”
