In Raleigh, the group says the days lost could mean about $65,000 less collected than last year.
Last year, more than $328,000 was donated. Not only is there less time to raise money, the Salvation Army says the need is greater this holiday season.
There are more than 8,700 children registered for its Angel Tree program.
"The money would help kids during Christmas time [with] new presents, new clothing, stocking under the tree, shelter for families, women with children, and even giving hot meals. We have a crisis program," explained the Salvation Army's Lizzy Adams.
Thousands of volunteers will be out ringing the bell this holiday season. Kettles will be set up at 50 locations throughout Wake County and they'll be out until December 24.
