With just five days left in their annual Red Kettle drive in Sidney-Shelby County, the Salvation Army is about 35 percent shy of reaching its $55,000 goal.

Capt. Joseph Hansen of Sidney said they are praying for a “Christmas miracle.”

They said the donations allow the Salvation Army to provide an array of social services, including year-round road emergency food assistance, cold weather-shelter, senior services and Christmas assistance each year.

The Red Kettle campaign ends on Christmas Eve.

Those not able to visit a kettle location can donate by sending a check to 419 N. Buckeye Ave., Sidney, OH 45365.
