A Salvation Army secret donor returns, this time outside a grocery store in Libertyville continuing the much-anticipated holiday tradition of donating gold and silver coins during the annual Red Kettle campaign.
A half ounce South African Krugerrand gold coin valued at $1,200 was discovered Thursday evening in a Salvation Army Red Kettle at a Jewel-Osco in Libertyville.
“It was a huge boost to our morale as a team here,” said Dan Faundez, corps officer at the Salvation Army Waukegan Crops, who found the gold coin. “As we started our Red Kettle campaign a week and a half ago, it was a very slow start.”
“It’s just fascinating how whoever it is doesn’t show any sign of making this a big deal or giving us any hint of who they are,” Faundez said.
Donations received during the Red Kettle drive stay local, so the gold coin will fund programs and services in the Waukegan and Libertyville communities such as rental assistance, food, toiletries, transportation assistance, thrift store vouchers and medical assistance.

My guess? Someone got it as a gift from a relative, or found it in their parents' property when closing the estate. He had no clue what it was worth - less than a Hershey's bar, just ask Mark Dice.He probably bought it back when it was $200!

I won't give to them. Not anymore...all they stood for, is gone. Now it's not about temperance or Christian living, but Social Justice and skin hue, and how they're going to re-mold man based on color chips and Die-Vers-Sitty.
Does any one of us suspect, maybe, fake-reality, or a rerun?* bump *
