Spending millions on holiday shows and advertising instead of actually feeding and housing people is also disqualifying. (TikTok screencap)

    Companies and large retail stores have these donation boxes for individuals to donate food into. I thought: why won’t the companies donate themselves? The French have a good idea with legislating restaurants to donate unserved food to the homeless.

      They don’t donate it themselves, because it’s all a scam to get customers to subsidize their charitable tax deductions. Same reason Taco Bell always asks if you want to round up.

      NEVER do that shit. Donate yourself, directly, if you actually want to.

    The best part is (in my experience) come Sunday those spots will be filled, most often not by handicapped people.

    Walk in to any church thats actin’ right and you can get help volunteering somewhere. Every church ive been a part of has had things like food banks, outreach events, volunteering groups that do just about everything, oh and want to know a sweet secret? Most churches DO have mortgage/rent assistance. The church i go to right now will give anyone 300$/month, for any reason, as long as you actually need it, but you dont really have to verify anything, but for that you do have to be a “member” of the church, and to become a member, you have to come at least once, thats it, just show up once, or twice maybe someplaces.

    Horseshoe theory is bullshit, but I genuinely can’t tell if the original context of this screenshot was some anti-woke Evangelical shit, or smug Reddit atheism
