Captain Karen Holland says that while final numbers won’t be known until later next week, the kettle campaign is still about $9,000 short of its goal.
However, she says that is still $1,300 more than was donated in 2017.
Mail-in donations are down significantly, by more than $70,000.
Holland says donations are still being accepted until December 31st to help reach this year’s $500,000 goal.
