red kettles

This week an anonymous donor dropped a couple coins into one of the red kettles around town. These proved to be much more than pocket change, they were two gold Krugerrands! // For those of us not used to having gold coins lying around, The Krugerrand is a South African gold coin, first minted in 1967 to help market South African gold and produced by the South African Mint...

We see and hear them all around town. Tis the season of the red kettles. Since 1891 the Salvation Army has been helping those in need. Today in the U.S., The Salvation Army assists more than four-and-a-half million people during the Thanksgiving and Christmas time periods.
