From the Chicago Sun Times: Someone left a 1-ounce gold bar worth an estimated $1,200 in a Salvation Army kettle outside a store in Michigan City, Ind.
Corinne Charleston, a Salvation Army ringer, says she was thrilled when she found a $50 bill in her kettle over the weekend.
And then Charleston got an even bigger thrill when she saw the gold bar wrapped inside a $1 bill.
It happened in South Dakota, too, where two gold bars valued at more than $1,200 each were dropped in kettles in Sioux Falls, one o them in a note that said “Bell Ringers are Special People.” http://www.suntimes.com/news/24589798-418/gold-bar-left-in-salvation-army-kettle-in-michigan-city-ind.html
As someone who has benefitted from the Salvation and who has worked for them at a homeless shelter, I can honestly say that that money will not be wasted on frivolous expenses.
