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.
Jump the shark...
Expect to get bitten...
They know the real reason, but they will never admit it.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA,
takes deep breath,
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
It’s not right to give to organizations pushing hate, resentment and racism.

Donations down due to the Salvation Army blaming whites for everything. Go woke. Go broke.
Before they ever get another donation from me, I need to see them turn away from CRT, apologize for their error, and fire whomever was responsible for injecting it into their mission. They need to return to Christ. Until then I’ll support Rescue Mission.
Old Savannah City Mission in Savannah GA fits the bill, they take no government $$ and do wonders with a barebones staff, especially with homeless veterans. I chose that organization to donate my husband’s clothes to when he passed away and they even came to my workplace to pick them up.
wanna wager who the primary donor was to the SA?
