The need was great, but so was the giving.
The Salvation Army Kettle Campaign has wrapped up for another season.
Kettle Coordinator Doug Montgomery says it was a great success.
Montgomery tells us how they were able to help people.
Every year, Montgomery hears some special stories while manning the kettles.
Montgomery adds they were especially pleased that about 90 percent of their kettle shifts were filled this year, which translated to about 12 percent more in giving.
