We have our challenges in front of us. Last year was a record-setting year for our red kettle program. $130 million was donated by the American public. This year, we're realizing that the economy is having an impact. We're lagging behind about six percent as we look across the country, so there's a few days left. We have our work cut out for us. Because the need in reverse to that, the need is extensive. Almost 100 percent increase in some communities.
我們面臨一些挑戰。去年,我們的紅色鐵桶項目創造了記錄,美國公眾共捐贈了1.3億美元。今年,我們意識到經濟狀況有一定的影響。在全國范圍內我們已經落后了6%,當然今年還剩余幾天的時間。我們削減了自己的工作。因為需求與此相反,出現增長。一些社區的需求增長了100%。
