About $2000 was raised for the appeal in Jerilderie, Finley and Mathoura.
Collectors were in the three towns last week and early this week collecting donations for the Salvation Army’s biggest yearly fundraiser.
Efforts this week moved to fundraising in Deniliquin, with organisers hoping to raise $10,000 form the four towns combined.
Deniliquin Salvation Army community engagement officer Sandra Whyborn said all money raised through the appeal in the area would remain in the district and be used to help people locally.

She the Salvation Army wanted to use the money in the community to help those who were struggling with poverty and those who were living rough.
“It’s not just Deniliquin. We support other communities as well,” she said.
She said the Salvos were keen to hear any ideas people had of ways the Salvos could support the district’s communities.
