The Salvation Army in Seattle is facing a shortage of toys and donations ahead of the holiday season and urges communities to find a way to help.
The nonprofit reports it gets 75% of total annual donations during November and December, and they are desperately in need of support.
“There are many reasons why both financial and toy donations are down this year, not the least of which is likely pandemic fatigue and concerns about employment and the future,” said Colonel Cindy Foley of the NW Salvation Army Division. “We are actually trying to provide food, shelter, toys and clothing to double the number of families we served last Christmas, and in the midst of the growing need we are seeing fewer people donating at our virtual and physical kettles.”

I’m all tapped out due to the Bidenflation. Sold some of the last of the corporate logo gear at the second hand clothing store and bought groceries. Sorry, call on Uncle Joe, he’s got your Sugar Daddy needs and Yellen has a HAL 9000 printing press ready to go. Even if there was some to spare it wouldn’t be going… Read more »
I do not believe a word they say. Maybe donations are down, I hope so, but he admits they want to double their service. Why would donations be down this year compared to last year, when the scam panic was well underway? Notice that no figures are given. I ignore adjectives. Attacking your donors when you want to double donations… Read more »
