Gdq are clowns now and if you say it you're transphobic and don't support LBGTQ rights

One with a better track record of using donations for charity and not spending money on anti gay agendas.

They got Dolly Parton for a football game that's the definition of excess.

I love Dolly, all us Tennesseans do, but come on.

Nowhere, not rich enough to be able to donate when we can barely cover our own expenses

You're prioritizing your own survival over filling the pockets of the salvation army leadership? (They are quite well "compensated" for their "efforts")

And this during christmas, the season of giving?

Have you no compassion?

I always give my money to local animal shelters + archive.org

I'm a fan of Toys For Tots as a direct alternative. They don't accept money; you just buy a toy and put it in the donation bin, and they distribute them
