The Salvation Army of Livingston County is reminding the community that need knows no season and the local Corps is still raising funds to hopefully reach its Christmas goal.
Thanks to the thousands of volunteers this November and December, the Salvation Army says it was able to serve over 900 Livingston County families this Thanksgiving and Christmas, provide 3,455 pounds of food through its pantry and help countless individuals with shelter, rent, utilities and more. Organizations, families and corporations virtually collected toys, physically rang bells at Red Kettles, hosted virtual kettle and donated monetarily - all of which helped serve thankful families that would have gone without this holiday season and will help keep families in need supported through 2021. Officials say the season of giving is now gone but the need still exists.
