Salvation Army Raised $130 Million During 2008 National Fundraising Campaign

"In these tough economic times, we have set out to help address unmet, immediate needs in the communities that we serve. Because of this commitment, our partnership with The Salvation Army has become more important than ever," said Margaret McKenna, president of the Wal-Mart Foundation. "We are committed to making charitable contributions that have an impact, and are proud that our customers are willing to donate to the Red Kettle campaign and help their neighbors make ends meet."
