As many are struggling to outlast the negative impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Salvation Army continues to fight the good fight, helping those in need.
Salvation Army-Shawnee Capt. Patrick Connelly said 2020 s Red Kettle program that just wrapped up a few weeks ago yielded $71,234.17 just under last year s figures.
The Salvation Army in Shawnee has operated with budget deficits over the last several years, he said.
“The funds raised this season will enable us to continue the programs and services our community has come to expect,” Connelly said.
