This. Was always my mom's favorite charity but in the last few years they've become extremely woke and couldn't resist telling white people they're all racist. I stopped giving them anything.


Which means no one is giving to them, because the left stopped giving to them years ago due to their stance on homosexuality

I’ve seen one and that one was in Colorado. Not seen another in any other city and state I’ve been in.

Saw 2 this year in the Houston area.

One at a Hobby Lobby in Humble, the other at a Kingwood Kroger.

Less than last year?

I only saw one this year at our grocery store. They definitely weren't there all Christmas season.

Maybe its because they told all of us whiteys we were pieces of shite for being born white and should apologize for it.

Terrible execution.

Do you think it’s less bell ringers or do you think maybe you didn’t do as much shopping in stores.

Between online shopping and grocery pickup/delivery, I don’t have as many opportunities to see bell ringers or Braxtynn hitting me up for money to help his team go to their 3rd World Series this month

Apparently there's a shortage of bell ringers. At least in Ohio.

I stopped giving money to them after reading what some of y’all have posted about the Salvation Army over the years.

No, it's not. There was a Salvation Army bell ringer outside of my Kroger just about every single day from Thanksgiving to Christmas until a couple of years ago. I saw them twice this year

Bruh. I’ve BEEN a bell ringer for the Salvation Army. It’s a thing. It’s not just something that happens in the movies. But I do wonder if the SA has killed it as people probably donate far less because they don’t carry any cash anymore.
