Salvation Army official says secret Santa resurfaces

In both December 2005 and 2004, however, Salvation Army workers found large numbers of $100 bills stuffed into various kettles in the city. Poff said the Salvation Army believes those donations were also given in $50,000 amounts each year, although he acknowledged that it is more difficult to know for sure since they came in the form of cash.

Last year, however, similar checks for $10,000 each were also written to both Souls Harbor and City of Refuge. Both agencies help with the local homeless.

Joan Lewis, the director of Souls Harbor, said that the shelter had not received such a check as of Friday afternoon.

“We have not as of yet, but we hope we will,” she said.

Erin Shetley, of City of Refuge, also said her organization had not received a check as of Friday.
