All those reasons are non-reasons - it’s the “woke” thing. Someone high in the organization decided that hating white people was the way to move forward. I have a copy of the document that was being used within the organization.

The Salvation Army needs to fire any and all persons pushing the CRT crap IMMEDIATELY, then issue a total apology. Only then can the organization return to its initial, proper goal of helping all in need without questioning their race.

I’m one of those people who feels naked if I don’t have cash in my wallet.

Besides, I do a lot of shopping at flea markets and garage sales, etc., and most of those places aren’t equipped with credit card readers . . . yet.

I gave directly to a local animal shelter.

That's the way to go...cats and dogs never go 'woke'.

> How can this type of organization go so woke so fast? <

I wonder if it’s a case where one or two Leftists make a demand, then everyone goes along because they don’t want to be denounced. Sort of like that old story “The Emperor’s New Clothes”.

Leftist are good at infiltrating such institutions and getting in ley positions of power.
Then they network with other like-minded leftist scum including lawyers and professors.
No different than the media,education and government.

I have been seeing the kettles and bell ringers at the exits of two Sam’s Clubs. Don’t know if they are getting any money.

The Salvation Racist Army should disband. There’s no coming back from this. They had a good 156 year run but the moral rot of society got them. The end.

They can join the Boy Scouts on the ash heap of history.

Same in NC. I've seen the empty tripod for the kettle more than the actual kettle.

Very true .... but that didn’t seem to be as huge a problem (50%) as “woke” hitting the kettles.

Go woke go broke. There aren’t enough woke Americans to make up the difference when normal Americans are attacked.

Yes, it still seems they are in denial about why people aren’t donating.

Who rescues them? A couple GOP goobers who probably haven’t a clue as to why people aren’t donating.

Communists take over organizations by controlling HR. They control who is hired and fired. They do the race training which uses cult tactics of indoctrination.

Notice nobody is ever fired? Gillette lost a billion in sales over their men are terrible as campaign. Who was fired?

Has anyone at SA been fired? No.

Anyone lost a job at DC or Marvel as they alienated their fan base? No. They called them “toxic” and kept going.

The cancer grows and eventually kills the host. Then moved on to the next victim.

Every organization or company is vulnerable to this. Colleges are cranking our future commissars every day to take over and destroy.

It's a hard lesson taught but not yet learned ... so the Salvation Army's woes continue. Although they've acknowleged (somewhat) what they did, this organization has yet to ask for forgiveness for what they've done -- done not just to themselves but to a couple of hundred million good people. Then they must act on it (that is, atone for what they've done).

Forgiveness is a process ... it is not "automatic" as the modern concept of forgiveness has devolved into.

Until the Salvation Army publicly apologizes for calling me a racist AND SAYS THEY’LL NEVER DO IT AGAIN, they’re toast. Never doing it again means dropping forever their racist woke agenda.

The Salvation Army will still not admit what is happening, and the sad part is that this is exactly what the leftists wanted. They meant to destroy the SA the same way they destroyed the Boy Scouts.

“”Inflation has killed us this year, gas prices were probably 30% of what they are now, $1 to $2, now it’s $3.50. You have COVID resurfacing at a higher level so getting volunteers has been really difficult,” Newton said.”

NO, what killed you is your embracing and teaching the CRT filth/crap. You’re OFF MY DONATIONS LIST, PERMANENTLY!

Major Stanley Newton with the Salvation Army believes donations are down this year because people are financially stretched compared to last year.

Denial ain’t just a river in northeast Africa.
