Salvation Army red kettle donation drive falling short
Bay Ridge corps officer says total is 31% behind 2013 campaign
The Salvation Amy in Bay Ridge, which has helped thousands of people get back on their feet over the years, is asking for help itself these days.
With Christmas less than two weeks away, The Salvation Army’s famous holiday season red kettle donation drive is in danger of falling far below last year’s results, according to Lt. Joel Ashcraft, corps officer for Bay Ridge.
“So far, we haven’t had the response that we had hoped for. And we’re running out of time,” Ashcraft told the Brooklyn Eagle.
