Instead of giving to Salvation Army bell ringers, consider donating to a food pantry. Bringing in food results in 100% of your donation doing some good, no “administrative costs” being deducted. Most we be happy with a financial donation as well. I try to not support any faith based charities.
This is true. I took someone to a dollar store once and saw that, while the prices were lower, you also got much less of each product so the cost was actually more than in regular stores.
