An anonymous donor dropped $3,000 into the Salvation Army of Pottsville's red kettles for its campaign.

According to 18-year-old Andrew Hunt, the bell ringer who was on duty Monday, a man put 30 $100 bills into the kettle at the Schuylkill Mall in Frackville.

Hunt said that he recognized the man but doesn't know his name.

"He gave another donation before, a nice amount. He's an older man with glasses, tall, wearing, like, a flannel shirt and a pair of jeans," said Hunt of Pottsville.

Capt. Adam W. Hench said that they were behind their goal of collecting $60,000 in donations for the year due to weather and cost of fuel.

"But this sort of helps us out. It was quite shocking how it all came at one time," Hench said. "I don't know who he is. I wish I knew. I'd like to thank him personally," he said.
