HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Major Paul James with the Salvation Army in Hutchinson says they are getting closer to their bell ringing goal.
"We're right about $12,000 with six days left to go of ringing," James said. "That goal is definitely very attainable."
The bell ringing goal of $60,000 is only part of their $230,000 overall goal.
"We have about $114,000 that's come in for our bell appeal so far beyond the kettle," James said. "We're still about $71,000 short of our overall goal."
This is after an $11,000 donation from Midwest Superstore Thursday.
"Please think of us when you're planning your year end donations," James said. "I know, depending on your situation and portfolio, you have to donate some money and so, we are definitely open and willing to do that."
For those who do not make enough to itemize, in 2020, you can still get a tax deduction for a charitable donation of up to $300.
