The Christmas Campaign goal for The Quincy Salvation Army was $375,000 and in Hannibal the goal was $75,000 and both have surpassed their goals.

Quincy reached $375,115 and Hannibal reached $86,657.

This money is used all year round ... and it's not used for Kroc Center.

This holiday season 770 families received food basket assistance in Quincy. In Hannibal, 269 families needed assistance.

The Toy Town campaign allowed 1,124 children in Quincy, and 407 children in Hannibal, to have toys Christmas morning.

Nine hundred families received a meal on both Thanksgiving and Christmas.

A special thank you to the 2,497 volunteers that donated 5,379 hours of service.
