""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,.."

Oddly enough, no mention of encouraging racism against white folk via crt propaganda.

And this has nothing to do with it, right?:

Salvation Army — White donors need to offer ‘Sincere Apology’ for their collective Racism…

Normally, the Left should be laughed at. But in this instance (not to mention countless others), their actions are harming people (those who have been actually helped in the past by the Salvation Army).

Sinistra delenda.

Where I’ve seen SA bell ringers this year, I have not seen one person putting any money in the kettles. Usually, folks exiting stores will drop in their change or a dollar after shopping .... I have been looking especially to see if donations are happening & haven’t seen one. None from me, either.

They can put it off to ‘pandemic fatigue’, employment, worries about the future, but they know the truth of the matter: by jumping on the woke bandwagon, their “troubles” are self-inflicted.

I used to feel guilty when walking by a red kettle and not putting something in it. Now, I happily stroll by.

I live west of Seattle out on the coast. Last night the wife and I discussed the Salvation Army and their embrace of Critical Racist Theory. For decades we took all the kids with us when we volunteered to be holiday bell ringers.

Not anymore. It’s going to be an interesting conversation around the Christmas dinner table this year because none of us are participating in a 3 generation family tradition.

I have no hard data to base my opinion on but I doubt that anyone was dropping any $1000-$2000 (or larger) donations in their kettles. What that tells me is that the folks giving from a handful of change to $100-$200 has profoundly diminished as a result of their offensive statements.

They shot themselves in the foot - with a bazooka!

Gosh....I guess White people are not terribly keen on donating to or volunteering for an organization that has made it clear it hates them, their history and their culture. Go figure.

Well, they could issue an heartfelt apology to ‘bipoc’ folks that they failed due to ‘woke-eosity’. Hard to walk past the bell ringers but we do now. #1 charity? Us.

Our local Fox channel in Knoxville had this same story a couple weeks ago. We laughed. Of course, they lied by omission ‘cause they didn’t tell “the rest of the story”.

'The situation is dire'; Salvation Army facing toy, donation shortage ahead of holidays

This is what happens when you hire "woke" libtards to run your organization and they make stupid, woke, derogatory, racist statements about their biggest donors.

Stupid is supposed to hurt.

I used to be a regular donor.

I would donate if I wasn’t so busy struggling with my whiteness.

I walked right past a SA bell ringer a couple of days ago. I haven’t done that in YEARS.
