Macomb County, Mich.
The Salvation Army says it has once again received a generous and unique donation through its Red Kettle Campaign.
Representatives with the organization said a secret Santa recently dropped a rare coin into a red kettle at a Kroger grocery store in St. Clair Shores.
According to a news release, the coin was a 1980 South African gold Krugerrand worth around $1,765.
The organization said this wasn’t the first time it has received such a donation. This year marks the 10th consecutive year a mysterious individual has deposited a Krugerrand coin into a red kettle in Macomb County.
The Salvation Army said donations go a long way. Last year, the organization was able to provide more than 2 million meals, more than 405,000 nights of shelter, and nearly 88,000 Christmas toys and gifts for children and seniors.
