VALLEY CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The Barnes County Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign hit another milestone by raising more than $72,000 over a 30 day period.

Spokesman Lee Isensee said he was shocked once again with the generosity of so many people in this area.

He and Tim Kadermas thanked Leevers north and south and Shopko for allowing their bell ringers to be inside those businesses during the campaign. Kadermas said they filled some 600 spots with volunteers. They thanked all who volunteered or donated to help the Salvation Army.

During the 2017 campaign more than $70,000 was raised during the Red Kettle Campaign.

One local business, The Quilted Ceiling of Valley City raised more than $2,000 for the Barnes County chapter in one day.

On December 22, the local business donated a full day of retail sales totaling $2,025. Isensee said it’s the first time a local business donated one entire day of sales to help the Red Kettle campaign and we are so thankful.
