ST. CLAIR SHORES The year 2020 may have destroyed many things, but not the Christmas spirit in St. Clair Shores.
For the eighth time, an anonymous donor brought joy and celebration to the counters at the Salvation Army’s Warren Community Center when they discovered that a 1980 South African gold Krugerrand had been dropped in the kettle at Kroger, 23191 Marter Road, on Dec. 8.
“This has gone on since, like 2013. We’ve had quite a few of these coins on an annual basis. We don’t know who it is,” said Major Matt Grindle, of the Salvation Army of Metro Detroit. “I’ve had this happen in other corps and tried to figure out who it is, and it isn’t an easy thing to do.”
