Frackville, PA (AHN) - 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.

That is so awesome! I felt bad yesterday, because I used checks to shop and had no cash. I was only able to drop pocket change in at Wal Mart and K Mart. I felt, if everyone does that, they can collect thousands per day. But to have a one time donation of $3k at one time is truly a gift. I myself, would have gone directly to the Salvation Army to make that size of a donation.

Kudos to young Andrew Hunt for not snatching it back out of the kettle for himself!

That was probably the smart thing to do. I wrote a check to the SA last year and now I get letters asking for donations all year. From now on, I'll only drop it in the kettles anonymously.

Wow how wonderful and giving! On the news you always hear about crime and "bad stuff". It is refreshing to hear such positive news. My faith in mankind has been boosted.

What a wonderful holiday gift to those in need!
