Kimberly George, Salvation Army Director of Marketing said, "We are real excited at the Salvation Army. In my hand, I’m holding fifty, 1-hundred dollar bills. It couldn’t come at a better time. We are out collecting money. Its cold. Folks are running from their cars straight into the store, so we are really needing folks to be generous and that is exactly what the Secret Santa has encouraged."
