Hi there, Some info about Salvation Army and Goodwill before you decide to donate! While Salvation Army provides lots of important services to lots of communities, if you can donate elsewhere, I would suggest it! They (the corporation) have been known to donate lots of money to anti-LGBTQ lobbyists and other organizations targeting children’s well being and trans healthcare generally. Goodwill has also notoriously mistreated and underpaid its disabled employees, paying them under 3 dollars an hour and other mistreatment.
Article (among many) about Goodwill mistreatment: https://www.forbes.com/sites/susanadams/2013/07/30/does-goodwill-industries-exploit-disabled-workers/ <https://www.forbes.com/sites/susanadams/2013/07/30/does-goodwill-industries-exploit-disabled-workers/> Recent article about Salvation Army: https://www.lex18.com/news/lexington-salvation-army-leader-shared-anti-lgbtq-message-sunday <https://www.lex18.com/news/lexington-salvation-army-leader-shared-anti-lgbtq-message-sunday> (not the greatest articles I know but there are multiple addressing the same concerns, and I’ve heard personal accounts of both!) What’s accessible to you is accessible to you, just some info to take into consideration.
