Secret Santas in several U.S. cities have been generously donating rare gold coins to the Salvation Army’s red kettles, spreading holiday cheer and helping those in need. Volunteers in Indiana, Vermont, and Michigan were surprised to find $50 Gold American Eagle Coins, a rare South African gold Krugerrand, and a bag with a gold coin inside, worth a total of over $6,000 in their kettles.
The donations were a huge morale booster for the charity organizations and the volunteers who work tirelessly to support those in need. Major Rachel Stouder of the Central Indiana Area Commander expressed gratitude for the generous donation, emphasizing its monetary value and the morale boost it provides to the volunteers. In Vermont, Major Keith Jache and his volunteers were initially hesitant to open a bag taped to a $5 bill but were astonished to find a gold coin worth $2,000 inside. In Michigan, an anonymous donor dropped off a rare South African gold Krugerrand worth over $2,000 in a red kettle outside a Kroger.
These generous donations from secret Santas have not only provided financial support for the charity organizations but have also given the volunteers a sense of joy and fulfillment as they work to help those in need during the holiday season. Major Jache expressed his happiness at knowing that the donations will help them provide food and clothes for people in need, and how it embodies the Christmas spirit of generosity.
