ODESSA, TEXAS - It's the season of giving and the Salvation Army in Odessa has been working hard to give to the less fortunate. On Monday afternoon, the organization received a big gift of their own.

"Today (Monday) we had an anonymous donor come in and issue a dollar for dollar match. He is willing to offer up to $65,000," Joe Contreras, commanding Officer for the Salvation Army, said.
