Over the years, I have walked by the red Salvation Army bucket and the bell ringer more times than I have stopped and made a donation.
This year, I have stopped EVERY time and dropped some bills into the bucket. In fact, Saturday I got my haircut, heard the bell ringer off in the distance and walked 100 yards or so and dropped a Five in the bucket.
I can see why the Salvation Army is doing better this year, even without Target... I'm sure there are many more people like me.

Yup. My story is the same-- I never used to give to them, but this year, after the Target decision, I made a vow to drop at least a buck in the kettle each time I passed one. Only missed it once-- didn't have ANY cash on me. ;)
