Folks, the Kettle's feeling mighty empty...

As you can tell by the top left column of this blog, I'm collecting so that the Salvation Army can keep on doing its great work.

Revenues are way down this season for the Salvation Army; partly because of "giving fatigue" resultant of two major back-to-back hurricanes; and partly because their kettles have been banned from what were former places of revenue.

As I have stated before, the percentage of proceeds that actually goes to the people they purport to help is nothing less than phenomenal. They are the real article. Currently, I have a goal of $100 for my "kettle", and there's $53.00 so far toward that goal (a hem... err... $53.00 of my own money). If you can see your way clear to do so, please click on the kettle and donate, even if it's only a few bucks. A few bucks from a lot of people can go a long way toward helping those in need. And if per chance you get to pass a kettle during your Christmas rush, please take time to make a donation. Most of the Salvation Army's yearly proceeds to meet local operating expenses actually come from the kettle drive.

Thanks for reading. And, for donating!
