The generosity of Herald-Standard readers has sent the Give-A-Christmas total to $7,476 with $2,760 received in the latest donations.

“That’s so wonderful! Thank you so much,” said Sparkle, the Christmas star, who is mascot for the campaign. “This is a big help to us as we try to raise $50,000 for the Salvation Army to help people in your own neighborhoods. We appreciate all these donations.”

The latest contributions came from Masontown, Uniontown, Vanderbilt, Brownsville, Fairchance, Hopwood, Newell, Point Marion, Fayette City, Smock, McClellandtown, Grindstone, Greensboro, Chalk Hill, Lemont Furnace, Elco and Clarksville

Donors also sent some nice holiday wishes:

“Dear Friends, We extend our thanks to the Herald-Standard for once again partnering with the Salvation Army to help meet the needs of many people of our community. We also extend our thanks to the Salvation Army for all that they do to allow people to experience the love of Jesus at Christmas when we celebrate the birth of the Savior of the world,” wrote Nicholas J. Cook, pastor, of the gift sent from Abundant Life Church in Uniontown.

“Give so others may have,” wrote Steve Minnick of Fairchance.

“Please remember our military women and men all over the world,” wrote David M. Callahan, Point Marion tax collector.

“Please keep our troops safe and healthy and bring the ones overseas home safe and sound,” wrote Steve and Linda Evon of Elco.

Contributions will continue to be received until noon on Dec. 23. The final amount raised will be reported in the Christmas Eve edition of the Herald-Standard.
