Gold Coin for QC Salvation Army

WVIK, Quad Cities NPR | By Herb Trix

Published December 22, 2017 at 11:57 AM CST

Someone has brightened the holiday season for the Salvation Army. Thursday a Liberty gold coin was dropped in a red kettle at the Moline Walmart store.

The estimated value of the coin is 600 dollars.

There are just two days left for the Red Kettle Campaign - Friday and Saturday - 8 pm Saturday is the deadline. But the Salvation Army will continue fundraising for its holiday campaign into the new year - through January 15th.
