Quad Cities, USA: The Salvation Army is pleased to announce that VON MAUR, the locally owned high-end department store, will sponsor the fifth annual Red Kettle Match Days this weekend.
On December 18th and 19th, VON MAUR will make a dollar-for-dollar match up to $10,000 to Quad Cities red kettle donations at Northpark and Southpark Malls. The five locations include two large red kettles inside of the malls.
Donations are needed to help meet this campaign's goal of $815,000. We are currently at $459,000 of that goal. The Salvation Army asks the community to take VON MAUR up on their challenge in order to maximize gifts made to The Salvation Army of the Quad Cities.
Major Gary Felton, Quad Cities Coordinator is "so pleased to partner again with such a notable and admired business in our community. The timing of this match weekend couldn't be any better our Red Kettle Campaign. I am confident we will meet our goal because of the generosity of the Quad City Community. We often see large checks, large bills and gold coins."
The Red Kettle campaign provides 60% of the annual budget used by The Salvation Army to provide people with their basic needs, warm shelter and nutritious food, new life skills, character building - anything necessary to help community members achieve healthy, productive living.
