SEATTLE - The Salvation Army is facing a shortage of toys and donations ahead of the holiday season, and urge communities to find a way to help.
The nonprofit reports it gets 75% of total annual donations during November and December, and they are once again in need of support. That help can come in the form of an online donation at the virtual Northwest Red Kettle.
"There are many reasons why both financial and toy donations are down this year, not the least of which is likely pandemic fatigue and concerns about employment and the future," said Colonel Cindy Foley of the NW Salvation Army Division. "We are actually trying to provide food, shelter, toys and clothing to double the number of families we served last Christmas, and in the midst of the growing need we are seeing fewer people donating at our virtual and physical kettles."
Not only is the nonprofit organization short on donations, they also are in desperate need of bell ringers to staff the red kettles seen at businesses around the country.
"The situation is dire, and we are asking our generous supporters in the region to donate to the virtual Northwest Red Kettle as well as make donations at every physical kettle in whatever way you can," said Foley.
Oddly enough, no mention of encouraging racism against white folk via crt propaganda.
The SA made it clear that my white money wasn’t wanted.
We have obliged them.

Apparently the “woke crowd” isn’t filling in the gap left by the traditional supporters who felt unappreciated by the Salvation Army’s anti-white training.
Y’all went woke. Now enjoy going broke.
Immediately what came to my mind.
in the past I never walked by a SA kettle without dropping in some amount, large or small. This year I have not given one penny.
I used to have great respect for the Salvation Army. But for me they’ve gone from hero to zero. Let’s hope they can right themselves. That will take time.
That’s because they realized all too late that they let some small group of triggered race baiters poison the attitudes of their largest group of contributors in their name.
They aren’t getting squat from me.
Go woke, go broke.
You can bet if their anti-white racist Manifesto isn’t mentioned in the article, then it is the primary reason.
Indeed. You were supposed to apologize for your whiteness while giving them your money and toys...
Sorry, can’t do it. I’m an evil white guy.
Yup. Used to be very active in Christmas donations. Not anymore. That includes united way.
They lost my donations.
My money is far too white for the woke army 🤪
They can shove their little dingy bell
The fruits of racism and moral rot.
I want the SA to offer a sincere apology to white people for asking them to apologize for things they personally never did, against people who never had those things done to them.
Top management at the Salvation Army is repeating the same lame excuses Gillette management used a few years ago in blaming every cause except alienating their customer base by advocating leftist causes: toxic masculinity in the case of Gillette, critical race theory in the case of the Salvation Army.
