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?

I doubt many donors will even know about this I don't know, I've been seeing a lot about it on Facebook.

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.

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...

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?
