The Salvation Army at Sunbury and Milton lowered its goals and decreased volunteers and locations for its annual red kettle campaign â now called Rescue Christmas â because they anticipated the giving climate might not be as robust as it was in the past.
The Sunbury location is at $36,000 toward its $50,000 goal and Milton is at $29,000 toward its $30,000 goal, which ends at 2:30 p.m. Dec. 24. The Salvation Army offices in Sunbury and Milton also started their Here. For Good. campaign, which is formerly the Needy Family Fund, three weeks early, according to Joel Harris, the community coordinator for the two offices.

The Seashore Striders hosted the 15th Run With Santa 5K at Cape Henlopen State Park in Lewes Dec. 12 and accomplished the four goals I set for the event. We attracted more than 100 participants again during a worldwide pandemic and hosted another safe event. The run raised money for the local Toys for Tots campaign; we team up with Apple Electric each year. We raised money for a local family in need that just suffered a loss in a local fire at their home. Lastly, we collected canned foods for the local Needy Family Fund.
“So much good came out of this event today, and it is great that we can help so many people in the community with these events the Seashore Striders host,” said longtime runner Richard Tikiob.
