Where to donate that does not explicitly benefit illegal aliens? [Vanity]

Where can someone donate clothes, household items, furniture, and other donatable items without doing so to an organization that explicitly aims at providing aid and comfort to illegal aliens?

[Reno89519]

We used to give to Catholic charities, but they are very upfront in providing explicit aid and comfort to illegal aliens. This seems to be true for every organization I have looked at except SPCA. Currently they don’t take many donations at all, blaming the Chinese Wuhan Covid virus. Recommendations please. Thank you.

Kidney Foundation?

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

This is a good question. Thanks for posting.

[DIRTYSECRET]

It’s not a good question.

[JohnBrowdie]

it’s a spectacularly bad question. people never think things through before they post vanities. it’s a universal FR law, apparently.

[Olog-hai]

Please do elaborate.

[Reno89519]

Not in our area. United Cerebral Palsy of Nevada Is an option.

Salvation Army

[JohnBrowdie]

do the skinheads have a charity? that’s probably a safe bet. american nazi party, if there’s still one of those.

when you ask a detonating question, be prepared for the answer.

[Reno89519]

Why is this a bad question?

[Organic Panic]

You may as well donate to whomever for the tax write off since our taxes are paying for the invading hordes of illegal alien welfare seekers.

[DLfromthedesert]

Don’t you check out organizations before you donate to make sure your donation is not misused?

[Reno89519]

Salvation Army give aid and comfort to illegal aliens.

[madrastex]

I quit donating to Salvation Army for that same reason
Now I donate to the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation, USO, St Judes, Shriners,Disabled Veterans, SPCA and two outfits in India: one that feeds 2 million schoolkids lunch each day, and another that offers the poor cataract surgery done by surgeons on a probono basis. Investigating Wounded Warriors here locally to add to the list.

[katnip]

Salvation Army.

[Reno89519]

That is a very stupid comment. Why would you presume to go there when someone simply asked about how not to give aid and comfort to illegal aliens? Do you presume that people who do not want to give aid and comfort to illegal aliens must somehow be racist skinheads?

[DLfromthedesert]

So if people don’t want to encourage the spate of illegals in this country, that makes them skinheads and Nazis? Leftist rhetoric.

[Pollard]

I was also going to say Salvation Army but it really depends on where you are. Find the small Christian thrift store. Support local. There’s a store downtown here the puts a rack of winter coats out in front every year for people to take for free. Find a poor but decent family. Ask around.

I guess I’ll weigh in on your comment there. Yes, I also think it’s a good question. I believe in tithing, but it’s often difficult to find charities that are a good fit for me.

So I appreciate FR charity threads. I often get to hear about good, but lesser-known charity organizations.

I know people at the USO, and they are connected to veterans and families at foreign US bases who take donations. Believe me, some base family in Yokota Air Base, Japan will be happy for it.
