The local Salvation Army announced Monday that $40,075 has been collected through its annual Tree of Lights campaign. This year's goal is $105,000. Dollars raised not only brighten Christmas for many residents of Kosciusko County this year with gifts and food, but will also help the Army conduct its work throughout the coming year.
