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.”
“White donors”, ah, I see, part of that “institutional racism” thing....
Ok, I give up, I won’t further the “racist system” of being white and “assuming” that my money goes to help “ people of color” or “less fortunate” than I.
Most of us give out of our need, not our excess. Really.
I wonder if being dropped by the now woke Chick-fil-A had something to do with the sudden wokeness of the Salvation Army?
I hope the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, also dumped by Chick-fil-A, will not go down the same path.
Fortune favors the brave?

Yep. After I decided on that moniker somebody on FR informed me that it was a battle phrase used on half a dozen warships during WW-II. I don’t remember where I picked it up.
It is the present day motto of the USMC 3rd Battalion - 3rd Marine Regiment , also known as ‘ America’s Battalion’
A highly honored motto. They have earned it.
