The success of Ottawa County is NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING. I say this each and every year that I have been the Director for The Salvation Army. Each year our Red Kettle Goal is given to us by The Northwest Ohio Salvation Army in Toledo. This year, our goal was raised to $62,000.00 and while we were up against obstacles, such as not being able to ring as many days as we had in the past, we were still able to surpass our goal by raising $62,603.90!!
