GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Donations made to the Salvation Army of Kent County on Giving Tuesday tomorrow will be matched up to $51,000, the organization said in a news release.

I believe that their generosity will inspire others to join in supporting The Salvation Army as we come alongside of neighbors who need help. Your donation being doubled will go a long way to help us Rescue Christmas for those most vulnerable this year.”
