More Than 30 Gold Coins Dropped into Bell Ringer Kettles
Dozens of Salvation Army bell ringers experienced an amplified feelings of generosity from gift givers this year. There were reported accounts of over 30 gold coins donated in Salvation Army kettles.
There’s likely many more. It’s nearly impossible to track special coin donations on the national scale through news accounts.
Anonymous donors in the Chicago area alone have reportedly given at least 15 gold and nearly 60 silver coins. Although each was given by someone with a generous heart, most don’t make the news as there’s no face and resulting story to associate with the person giving.
