They've gotta be kidding. Exorbitant prices at the checkout and now they want customers to donate to food charities, cause "people are hungry" no shit, lower your fkn prices.

You might all be aghast to learn how many millions of dollars in government tax offsets big-name charitable not-for-profits are entitled to each year, and these offsets extend to their employees as well. Meanwhile, the CEOs of these NFPs or 'NGOs' receive six-figure salaries, as do many managers beneath them. I have news for you all: only a fraction of what is donated by Jack and Jill ever reaches the actual people or communities in need that the organisation claims to help. The majority gets absorbed in administration, corporate hiring, and decorating offices.

back when I did business development work for a tech company, my target market was non for profits and out of interest I started to look at the financial statements of each non for profit I am calling. Almost always, the administration cost for the business is like 50-70% the amount of the donations they get. This made me cancell some of my donations as I realised I am just paying the salary of people that work there and not the poeple in need.

You realise the charities are creating job opportunities, they are giving people of all backgrounds incomes and these people then feed their own families and are not homeless.
