CHEYENNE – Just a few weeks into its annual Red Kettle bell ringing campaign, donations to The Salvation Army in Cheyenne are significantly lower this time last year, and the group is far from reaching its goal.

The faith-based organization has raised $72,000, down 8.4 percent from this time last year. Volunteers have until Dec. 24 to try to reach their goal of $160,000 to provide free lunch and maintain rental/utility assistance programs throughout the year.
