Salvation Army of Dubuque Surpasses Red Kettle Collection Goal

The Salvation Army of Dubuque collected more than $250,000 during its annual red kettle campaign, surpassing its goal. The Salvation Army reported that it collected $250,183.41. Its goal had been $224,000, and mail donations still are being accepted. Of that amount, nearly $113,000 was collected via the organization’s red kettles — just short of the goal of $115,000. The organization received more Christmas assistance requests in 2020, and it distributed new toys to nearly 1,000 children and Christmas meals for 1,889 people.
