More work for the SA.......now they have to sell it

I don't think that's a good idea at all. I would be afraid of theft. Selling it yourself and donating the money would be much better.

I think the SA suffers now a days because most people do all their shopping using credit cards. So when they are walking past the bell ringers they don't have that handful of change that everyone used to have and would drop in the bucket.
At least for us - I know - we have rewards cards so we buy everything possible using the cards to get bigger rewards.

There are also ""other"" reasons that some won't donate money to the SA so that could very well contribute to their lower funds. Many would rather give their donations to groups who accept people from all walks of life.

I don't see why the jewelry would be any more susceptible to theft than the cash placed in the containers every day. And while it does require the Salvation Army to take an extra step (to sell the jewelry), they do have stores so they're accustomed to selling goods. I guess I don't understand the criticism of those who wish to give to others who are less fortunate.

ITA. I wondered why they would ever voice their opinion, I've always given to them before but will give to another organization until they change their stance.
