Astounded by generosity
ASHLEY SLOBODA | The Journal Gazette
When Capt. Kenyon Sivels joined the Fort Wayne community this year, he d heard residents of his adoptive hometown were generous, but he and his wife were unprepared for the outpouring of support the Salvation Army would receive.
Sivels said Monday the Salvation Army has finished its Christmas distribution, having helped 3,600 people. For the year, he added, the organization has helped more than 25,000 people – the highest since its inception in Fort Wayne in 1886.
