And the Salvation Army has gone woke as well. They used to be who I would donate through, but no more.
When my brother was injured in a tornado 30 years ago, the red cross did zip for him. The Salvation Army helped him with food and diapers for his youngest. I hadn’t heard that the Salvation Army had gone woke; that’s a shame.
I donate all my unwanted items to Goodwill. There are several private foundations in our area, but Goodwill is the most convenient. They’ve probably always been woke, but I know they provide jobs for mentally and physically disabled people. SA used to be Christian based, and I suppose they are still considered so, but, let’s face it -— as the older generation fades away, a lot of younger people just don’t have the same values. At all. It’s disheartening, but a sign of the end times. And since we raised them, we have to accept some blame, though kids from the 70’s and 80’s, many times, still stand up straight.
“[The Salvation Army...used to be who I would donate through, but no more.”
Right. And now I’m done with Doctors without Borders too.
I donated to them when there was that terrible Tsunami at Christmas time. In Thailand I think it was, too lazy to google.
But, anyway, it was a Muslim country and I figured the Salvation Army probably did not have a big presence there so gave to DWB. And I was pleased because they sent me one additional request for donations, but then stopped.
But recently I donated to them through my job for the earthquake in Turkey. My kid chipped in with me so we gave $100.
And now they won’t leave me alone. Finally got them to stop calling.
I’ll never give them another cent. I am immune to the hard sell.
Just going to give to Magen David Adom in the current situation, probably will do Samaritan’s Purse going forward.
