Matthew George, Red Kettle coordinator
A visit from Secret Santa was timely for The Salvation Army since funds have been stretched due to the cold temperatures and opening shelter. 36 one hundred dollar bills were donated on Saturday at the Highway 27 Big Lots Red Kettle.
"We have been busy with cold weather shelter, Angel Tree, Red Kettles, and preparing for Thanksgiving," said Major Al Newsome, Area Commander for The Salvation Army of Greater Chattanooga.
"We are so grateful for this large donation! It couldn't come at a better time."
