Not only did I stop giving to them I stopped volunteering for them. I don't support people who go out of their way to let me know they hate me when there are so many others who could use the help.

I’ve gotten where I don’t give much to anything.

They are all extragovernmental money launderers.

I quit giving to organized charity altogether. I put money directly in the hands of someone who needs it. That’s it. I don’t get any tax breaks but I don’t care.

No.

Theyre one of the few groups who do good work.

I used to put money in everyone I came across - I haven’t put a nickel in since.

Yes, absolutely. I don't discriminate at all. My money, my values.

Yep, I don’t want politics with my Christmas or my sports.

Thanks Salvation Army and Woodward. Leftist ruin everything they touch.

Why do the Rothschild's need my money? Freemasons have their greedy little hands in everything it seems. Support your local humanity needs by giving to local churches that actually do care for their communities. Use your judgement to determine who will use your donation best, but for me, I look for those spreading the gospel and feeding/clothing those that are just needing a hand up.

Still drop a little money in the kettles but no longer send money to the local headquarters.

This is true and it really is a shame that all of this went down.

I attended a local banquet of theirs about two ago through some connections and wanted to support said connections. The person in charge of the SA in our area gave a speech and in it they touched on what has happened to donations because of that flyer or report or whatever it was. He was pretty emotional about it and made the point that one or two people far away (I think he said it originated overseas - England or somewhere) with a fringe ideology were somehow able to produce a document (that has since been removed) that decimated the funding at local levels and have really prevented them from accomplishing their mission.

And I had no idea what all they did - I thought it was a food pantry/goodwill type store situation. But they run shelters, they educate and teach skills to people and help find them jobs, they run after school programs for kids who would otherwise be on the streets and a lot more.

The whole situation is just fricked up because I really do believe it was a handful of shite heads that ruined it for the rest of some really good people trying to better the world. And now what else can they do? The damage is done.

My Son was a serious and professional drug addict.
I got tired of propping him up and called Salvation Army about him going and staying there-They said he to test test clean for drugs before they would let him stay.

That’s when I stopped giving to the Salvation Army.

Meanwhile, to finish the story, my son went to his fifth rehab site and it worked!

As a matter of fact, he is a shift supervisor over six workers and 76 patients at the very rehab he went to!

So he is doing great, and I can care less about Salvation Army.

He and I kick in together and give to Samaritans Purse together.

I quit giving after the woke announcement and don't plan to give to them ever again.

and he tells me that donations are down 30% since 2021.



I wonder how much of this is attributed to wokeness and how much of it is attributed to more people doing curbside shopping and grocery delivery

Thinking this mainly because I just placed a curbside order at HEB

Very little of the money donated reaches the people that need help. Every time you donate to a charity you are paying for their executives to throw parties and travel to conferences.

It's better to find someone in need from your community and give directly to them or to organizations that only operate locally.

I’ve diverted my donations to the Damnation Navy. They are far more effective.
