Maybe once or twice, the problem is they're jingling outside of most stores I go to

Might be a smaller haul this year with the coin shortage still being a thing

I don't think I have seen one in years. Even if did I don't carry cash with me anymore so I couldn't.

I know my mom had me put the change in the kettle when I was a kid. But I have never personally donated my money to them, nor will I. Theyre a bigoted organization.
really? did your mom say why she wanted you to give them money?

I try to avoid those types of places this time of year. If I do have to go it is usually late at night. I don't want to deal with all the crowds.

Are they actually a group that does harm? I definitely dont want to help a group that is discriminatory but I thought they just gave stuff to people in need?

i thought that they do do that, but aren't they also a very religious group? so they might be very anti lgbtq?

Well if they are anti LGBT at all they should cut that shit out. That has no place in any religion or ideology that I have respectful feelings towards.

Not even once. And considering how or where they spend that donation money--such as on anti-LGBTQ companies or programs--I've considered both the legality and ethics of taking from those buckets, which has also not happened.

I always hated when they were jingling the bells cause I have very sensitive ears and those things were painful.

Also salvation army can fuck right off.

An oddly accurate description for a joke.
Any time newyork tried to pass laws that recognized equality for groups they didn't like, they'd make threats and hold hostages.

Where's the donating items option? I donate stuff sometimes but never have just given money.

The Salvation Army is literally a religious cult. They refer to their ministers as "officers" who are assigned military-style ranks (Lieutenant, Captain, Major, etc) and the regular members as "soldiers", they wear uniforms with rank insignia, and until very recently, officers were only permitted to marry other officers. The creed of the Salvation Army, now known as the Soldier's Covenant, was formerly called the "Articles of War".
