This year, the impact of COVID-19 has put The Vail Valley Salvation Army about $30,000 behind on its fundraising goal of $52,000.
The organization is serving significantly more people in 2020 with Christmas assistance, including putting food on tables, paying bills, providing rental assistance and utilities and helping place gifts under the tree.
