The Salvation Army’s annual Red Kettle Drive in Lincoln, Boyle, and Mercer counties is underway and well en route to its goal of $100,000 for the three-county area.

As of the end of the day on Tuesday, Dec. 8, the drive had collected $19,717.58, which is nearing 20 percent of the goal.

If you would like to give to the drive to help those less fortunate, visit one of the Salvation Army Red Kettle Drive locations in the area. You can mail your gift to P.O. Box 417, Danville, KY 40423, or give online at https://www.salvationarmyusa.org/usn/
