I don't think so. I was harrassed by a bell ringer last year because I "only" gave $5.00, which was the only bill in my pocket.
Amazing...but I am glad Target is taking a stand against these people.

And for the record..."these people" are outlandish bell ringers. There are some good people out there and I will be making another donation to the salvation army this year.

I think that letter is a reasonable explanation of a reasonable policy. I wish more stores had a no solicitation policy. I am a giving person but I want it to be because I want to give, not because of some guilt trip these folks try to create.

I usually always give them my change on the way out. Last night at Fareway I didn't though, and then I got mad at myself when I got in my car. So, it seems like SA just has to get a grant, and then they can ring all they want. Seems reasonable.

Well, I have to do this every year when someone brings up the piece of garbage that is the Salvation Army. I used to give this organization $1200 every Christmas , as I felt they did good work in the communtity. That all changed about 3 years ago when thye pissed me off. That Salvation Army refused a large donation from a man that had recently won the lottery. They told him they would not take money that was gotten from gambling. Well, I gamble, so the first reason that I quit supporting them is that. Secondly, they take money from far worse people on a daily basis. Drug Addicts, Child Molestors, rapists, wife beaters, thieves and the like drop money in the little red bucket on a daily basis yet they do not care because they simply do not want to ask. They also take money form little old ladies that "gamble", well play Bingo in the basement of churches but that is OK. They also accept corporate donations and indvidual donations from those that play the strock market, some call this investing but one could easily make the case it is just a safer form of gambling based on the info that is available to them.
Screw the Salvation Army and its legion of bellringers. I now give my donations to Toys for Tots or a local charity that I know where the money or items actually go. |

Which also means they have the right to limit the SA along with all others. I find it petty, but they have that right.

I do know they hire a ton of people around Christmas time to do the job and give them some pocket change before the holiday.
