This year, in addition to requesting monetary contributions, the organization is calling on donors to reckon with their deep-seated attitudes of racism, the National Review reports.

Going forward, the Salvation Army says it hopes white donors will recognize their own contributions to racism and adopt a posture of anti-racism, an ideological practice made popular by progressive author Ibram X. Kendi.

The Salvation Army's International Social Justice Commission, has a document called the Study Guide on Racism which reiterates its viewpoint with the statement that "White people are in fact guilty of unconscious bias and unwittingly perpetuate racial division even when they don't demonstrate overtly racist behavior."

In the past, I spent over 20 years on the board of directors in our local Salvation Army. Nothing like this had ever come up. Don't they realize the majority of their donors are white conservatives?

All these woke companies coming forward now are just hoping to not be on Antifa and BLM destroy and burn list.

In my area, they're having trouble finding bell ringers for their red kettles. Last I heard they are considering paying people to bell ring, something they said they'd never do.
I used to volunteer; never again.

not really a surprise , even CBS doesn't believe the salvation army isn't a business disguised as a church and charity.

I spent over 20 years on the advisory board in my area.
They had a soup kitchen which provided breakfast and lunch meals. Plus, they had a shelter that could accommodate up to 90 people per night for up to 30 days. There was a social worker who came in from the county to help the less fortunate find a job.

The officers were given a home which they didn't own, but lived in it while they were on site. I visited the home a few times. It was a modest home, nothing fancy. They also received travel expenses, a modest salary, medical insurance, etc.

There were some volunteers who worked there without pay. But, they did employ people that worked there every day and they were paid a fair wage.

It seemed back then to be a worthwhile organization that lived up to the standards of any charitable organization. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been on the advisory board. It sounds like they might have too many democrats on the board now.

Sounds like Salvation Army wants to go out of business...

What a shame. They are one of the charities where a large % of the money actually goes to the cause they support. I'd hate to support them spending even a penny of the money on this crap.

When it comes to welfare, I've always felt all welfare recipients should have to take a drug test to qualify for help.

Mmmm, I don't think so. My guess is liberal based cities that buy into this nonsense is where the majority of their target market is anyhow. That's the case around here anyhow.

Just like at Coca-Cola, somebody at the Salvation Army likely crunched the numbers and figured that they would make more revenue by going woke. We need to teach companies like this, go woke, go broke, or this crap will continue.

We are already seeing a downward trend in my area. They always had plenty of volunteers to do red kettle bell ringing, not this year. They are soliciting people to ring for pay. Is it a result of the woke the SA is professing or is it that fewer people want to work anymore? Or, a combination of both?

I went to Walmart a few hours ago and there was a Salvation Army worker ringing the bell, with the red kettle. He looked unhappy and didn't greet me, like they usually do. I almost said something to him, but figured it wasn't his fault and that he had probably already gotten more than an earful.
