Charities Suffering This Holiday Season | WWAY NewsChannel 3 | Wilmington NC News: "Tis the season for charitable donations. But the salvation army and area churches say it's been the slowest season in more than a decade. Shiloh Baptist Pastor D.K. Ferguson says, 'We've seen some downturn in the gifts that are being given, and those who are giving.'
Major Butch Mallard of the Salvation Army says, 'Our monetary donations are down, and I think that has to do with the economy, but we have more people coming to us for assistance.' The struggling economy means more people have fallen on hard times, forcing them to pinch pennies."
