Many of our Salvation Army corps have been unable to set up red kettles in their communities because of the heavy snow storms and cold temperature. With this type of weather, the shoppers aren\u2019t out either,\u201d said Major Donald Hostetler, divisional commander of the Empire State Division of The Salvation Army.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe rely on this money to carry each Salvation Army center through the year in order to help those who need us. All of the Salvation Army officers and hundreds of volunteers are working to provide toys, warm clothing and holiday food baskets for those in need. All of the money raised stays in your area, so when you make a donation this Christmas, you are really making change happen for your neighbors,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery Christmas, I\u2019m humbled by the fact that Upstate New York residents are so eager to give people the chance to rebuild their lives. We are blessed by the many generous business partners that allow us to have kettles at their place of business,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Donations can also be made online at [<a href=\"http:\/\/www.onlineredkettle.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.onlineredkettle.org<\/a>], by phone at [1-800-SAL-ARMY] or by texting the word \u201cGIVE\u201d to 80888 to make a $10 donation to the Red Kettle Campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Syracuse, N.Y., Dec. 18, 2013)\u00a0 The recent cold weather and snow storms have slowed The Salvation Army Red Kettle campaign across Upstate New York.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-52470","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-top-story"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=52470"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52470\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=52470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=52470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=52470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
