Every time I make a post about why you shouldn’t donate to the Starvation Army, some fuckin hero always comes out of the fuckin woodwork to make noise about, “Well sweaty maybe the Salvation Army isn’t perfect but at least they’re doing something!”
No. Listen.
The reason you shouldn’t donate to the Starvation Army is because they are literally not helping. They do the opposite of help. That organization is an active source of harm.
yearly reminder fuck salvation army
They have a history of using donations to fund their political and religious views while actively denying help to those who are LGBT or of different religions/viewpoints. A friend of mine went into their store seeking help, but was turned away for mentioning the guy with him was his boyfriend. #FuckFakeCharities
Might I suggest donating instead to:
Goodwill;
The Red Cross;
Doctors Without Borders;
Habitat for Humanity;
The Trevor Project;
Howard Brown Health Center;
or even helping out your local food pantries?
