Wal-Mart has responded to Target’s throwing the Salvation Army bell ringers out of its stores by starting a $1 million matching-funds program.
Target only supports certain types of (gay) groups and not the Salvation Army, nor military veterans’ organizations. Wal-Mart supports whomever it can, and is more inclusive in its donation program.
Wal-Mart made the decision after the Salvation Army announced that donations were down nationwide.
According to a recent news article,”the Salvation Army provides services to the community, including food, companionship to the elderly and ill, clothing and shelter to the homeless, opportunities for underprivileged children, relief for disaster victims and assistance for the disabled, among others.”
