I quit donating to them completely. I mean I never actually did before either, but definitely will not in the future now.

I just mailed out our two annual checks to our volunteer fire department and St. Judes. My company still matches though I am retired. I have always ignored the bell ringers.

The red kettle bunch can kiss my rosy redneck ass. Our local VFW and American Legion posts do more to help folks in need around here than SA or Red Cross ever did. I'm a member of both posts and I believe in keeping the dollars and time I'm able to donate close to home.
Ignorance can be fixed. Stupid is forever!

I have donated generously to the Salvation Army since I was in my 20's. Not any more. Told the nice lady working the red pot in front of Walmart why. She said she'd had a thousand people tell her the same thing.
I see the head of Salvation Army has tv commercials now to try to turn their woke screw up around.

While doing some social justice and helping the poor is good, that's not the primary purpose of the Christian Church.
If a church organization's primary goal is not spreading the Gospel, they have missed the mark.

What the Salvation Army has made itself a part of is even worse than just insulting those of us that have supported them through the years. They are helping the nanny state to grow. At one time the pendulum swung towards groups like theirs being one of the big sources of help for those in need. Now with the leadership taking the stand they have they are actually helping the left to grow government handouts. This is not by accident either. It was planned. The leftist/communist filth is destroying everything that might be a threat to their agenda. This is what happens when real patriotic men are not at the helm in any organization. Throw in that this group was founded as a Christian organization and it's even more disappointing to see what they have become.

It would appear that the SA is in denial as to the cause of the drop in donations.
In a statement to Fox News, the Salvation Army downplayed the idea that the controversial racism guide has hurt donations.
"We have no information to suggest that the efforts of any political action group is affecting the Red Kettle results," a Salvation Army spokesperson said. "Our units in local markets have ups and downs each year, which shouldn’t be mistaken to represent the status of our national Red Kettle campaign. We expect to have a measure of the national results in early 2022, and we are encouraged by the final tally of his year's National Commander's Red Kettle Challenge, which doubled the amount raised in 2020."

If you want help people forget the Red Cross and Salvation Army. The Red Cross soaks up a lot of money that does not get to people needing help. Volunteers have to stay in very nice hotels and eat very well. Salvation Army has tried to backtrack but they have bitten the hand that feeds them.
Consider the Cajun Navy. I am considering applying for membership. They are all about helping and it costs them money and time to go assist in disasters. I would not be surprised if they went to Kentucky. Saw a Cajun Navy guy interviewed on Fox a few days ago. They were on their way to Kentucky.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

No need for organized political action to cause the drop. All that's needed is widespread knowledge by White folks of their stated position vis a vis Whites, and the Internet is what made that happen.

Just saw a news article stating the Salvation Army donations are way down...as much as 41% and they are having trouble getting volunteers to man their red kettles. This after them telling white people to apologize for being white and racist...along with their donation. They made the mistake of sending me and envelope to donate in and send back.....I just sent them a little Xmas greeting note telling them to shove their woke philosophy and their red kettles up their sanctimonious ass. So I guess I'm one of the 41%... At any rate they are now of course back peddling on their racist ideology .....who could have guessed that would happen? I thought I was the only one to do that. Sent it in their prepaid postage envelope too!

Back when I was AD I used to volunteer with Salvation Army as a bell ringer on during the holidays. I used to always donate as well. After their crap this year, not one more penny from me. There are others that will get my money now.

What puzzles me is, from what part of the population do they get their donations? The money isn’t coming from the folks they want to help, it’s coming from the very folks they just insulted. What kind of maroon could come up with such a stupid concept?🤬
So I have to self flagellate before I’m pure enough to pay them retribution?! Fidiots! The executive that made that decision will likely get a Nobel Prize as well. LOL
They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.
