GREENSBURG — A donor who wishes to remain anonymous dropped a $10,000 check into a Salvation Army kettle in Westmoreland County.

Vanessa Fullwood, the co-commander of the Greensburg Salvation Army, said she found the check Thursday while emptying kettles from the day before.

Everett Fullwood, Vanessa’s husband and co-commander, says the check was donated outside the Westmoreland Mall in Hempfield Township.

The Fullwoods welcome the donation because this year’s fundraising campaign has been struggling to meet the local chapter’s $90,000 goal. The group has raised $75,000 and collects money in its iconic red kettles through Christmas Eve.
