The Salvation Army does not accept these items as donations.

The Oneonta Salvation Army has reported that its 2018 Red Kettle Campaign is running well short of its $57,000 goal.

Yesterday on The Salvation Army Oneonta NY facebook page, a message was posted to area residents:

Here's a burning question for you...if you found $40,000 in a couch you had picked up at a yard sale or the Salvation Army, what would you do with the money?  That question is based on a real life situation that three SUNY New Paltz students found themselves in recently according to WABC.

This holiday, remember it is better to give than to receive.  While you are out shopping, please grab a couple of extra nonperishable food items to help the Salvation Army's Holiday Food Basket program.  The baskets will help make the holiday season a little easier for local families.

Two gold coins, valued at nearly $500 dollars apiece have been dropped into the same Salvation Army kettle in Horseheads. It is the same kettle where a gold coin was donated earlier this month.

Oneonta, NY—At their August meeting, the Board of Directors of the United Way of Delaware & Otsego Counties approved a special gift of $5,000 to restock the Salvation Army Food Pantry.

During the summer months families find that their food budgets are especially strapped.  Children that take advantage of school breakfast and lunch programs are home and families need more groceries.  Local food pantries are feeling the strain.
