Libby Porter, 11, reaches goal of needing U-Haul truck for donations

MADISON, WIS. (DEC. 12, 2014) – A Lake Mills Middle School student is making a big donation for kids in need. Eleven-year-old Libby Porter has been collecting donations for the Salvation Army for the last three years.

This year, she made a goal to need a U-Haul truck to drop off the items.

Today, Libby and her Mom arrived at the Salvation Army of Dane County in their rented U-Haul moving truck, with more than 100 bags of donations. Collectively over the last three years, Libby donated about 100 bags. This year alone, she collected 113 bags.

“It feels good, I’m really excited,” she said.
