The charity -- which offers food, housing and financial assistance to those in need -- said Monday someone dropped a check for $200,000 in a kettle in the south Metro Saturday. The donor asked to remain anonymous.

The Twin Cities Salvation Army is aiming to raise $11.7 million by the end of the year, and says donations are down 10 percent from last year so far.
