The Three Gold Coins and the Christmas Kettle - NPQ - Nonprofit Quarterly

The Three Gold Coins and the Christmas Kettle - NPQ - Nonprofit Quarterly: A real holiday story to warm the cockles of your heart takes place in Morris, Illinois, a small town of about 15,000 people on the Illinois River some 60 miles southwest of Chicago. The story comes from the Morris Daily Herald.

“A 10-year tradition was continued Monday when an anonymous donor dropped three solid gold coins into one of the Salvation Army’s collection buckets in Morris,” writes reporter Jessica Bourque.

“It’s hard not to expect them after so many years, but every time I’m still surprised and excited,” Denise Gaska, executive director of We Care of Grundy County, told the paper.
