Some charity organizations across the country are seeing low donations this year, a trend worsening from last year. With inflation affecting those who give, some charities fear they won’t have enough donations to meet increased needs. NBC News’ Savannah Sellers returns to Another Chance Church a year later and visits The Salvation Army’s Community Center in Chicago to see how charities are making it through the holiday season.

But look at those quarterly emails.. looks like every business out there is exceeding in profits every quarter…. Wonder where the extra money is going??? 🤔🤔🤔
I hope people are able to take personal responsibility. What caused this change 2 years ago???? People are so daft, they’ll complain but then vote the same way next cycle like “dEr wHaT haPpeNed?”
American companies are making billions, what's the problem? Over-population? We're talking Americans here and not illegal aliens. Find that money for The People 💯💯
Sound money and production fight poverty and inflation. The more the government spends the less the value of currencies in your pocket. If the government is left to keep spending it will put all Americans into poverty. Crime is a product of devaluing currencies. Let the government spend more and donations will suffer. Things haven't been built back. Production hasn't restarted. High end stores will become targets as the currencies loose even more value. All this because the government has an unlimited credit card. They just keep spending the value out of the currencies in your pocket.
Lots of people are suffering under this administration 🙄
Why don't you christians STOP bearing FALSE WITNESS telling the kids that LIE about a MYTHOLOGICAL BEING called santa clause is giving them the Christmas presents ! Tell kids the truth that the parents buy the presents and that they can ONLY get what their parents can afford to buy them .
Ain’t the US the wealthiest nation in human history..?
Or it just that the 1% of the 1% of the US is the wealthiest nation in human history…?
The Big Box Stores aren't donating anymore when they used to but they still take the tax breaks that they did given 1% of their inventory for crippled children and the poor but have stopped but sell what they are to donate in bulk to foreign buyers. The churches can buy pallets of toys at a fraction of the cost from tax-free status but refuse to, so it's a big fat lie about donations.
Toys are not priority for people. Nutritious food is important for poor people. A child can live without a toy but not without food and roof above their heads.
Sending prayers 🙏🙏🙏💝💝❤❤❤❤
Everything is too expensive
Just a thought, but maybe the church could not buy so many expensive toys with the donation money. Could give more kids gifts that way.
A broken partisan system in Washington, that prioritizes denying the opposition party a win, rather than delivering for all Americans. This has to be the best quote made in the last 20 years. of American politics.
I appeal to the Muslim world, Australia, Africa, Asia and the world. We need your help to remove these Godless, Immoral, Wicked Democrats and the Bilderberg cartel from Washington. Never has America needed you more, than at this dark hour of history.
No toys isn’t a tragedy,and you act like it’s right up there with starving. Fear of going without helps the rich get you in line.
That's because people don't have any money any more
CORPORATE GREED, THE GRINCH OF SEXMAS, steal from the poor and give to the RICH
It could be you tommorow.
Have they try sending letters to santa?
Jeff Bezos at the current rate that he makes money could spend 22 million dollars a day everyday for the rest of his life regardless of how long he lives and never run out of money….
The mystery is how they survive thru the year with the Faithbased once or twice people need to eat every day
Despite the economic downturn,I'm so happy☺️. I have been earning $ 60,200 returns from my $7,000 investment every 13days
the family a :50 yeah they need free toys got jewelry on, ones got a leather coat all of them look to get there hair done up ones got fake lashes all fresh clothes. Get ur priorities straight. Looks like moochers too me sorry.
DO NOT BE FOOLED ELITES OWN ALL THE WORLD'S MONEY'S AND THEY OWN AND CONTROL EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD AND THEY HAVE RIGGED IT ALL AGAINST THE WORLD'S POOR POPULATION AND IN FAVOR OF THEMSELVES EVEN ELECTIONS AND THEY GET AWAY WITH IT BECAUSE THEY USE ALL TECHNOLOGIES OF COMMUNICATIONS TOO MUNIPULATE AND BRAINWASH YOUR MIND'S INTO BELIEVING THEM AND EXCEPTING THEIR OWN WAY'S AND PEOPLE'S IN EVERYTHING THIS IS HOW THEY STAY RICH AND YOU STAY POOR AND THIS IS HOW THEY ALWAYS GET AWAY WITH THEIR EVIL WAYS!!!

We're struggling right now. Rent and food costs have shot up in the last two years for us. This said, I'd still give the shirt off my back for anyone that'd need it. Makes me sad to see this.
Dollar Tree has lots of things for kids. Coloring books, crayons, stuffed animals. Maybe if some of these chunky moms missed a few meals they could afford toys for their kids. Hoverboards, bicycles? Gimme a break.
With all that corrupted money that DC's got no wonder why more people are in poverty and can't afford Christmas live alone food items for themselves and family don't they know that zombies do not exist and meanwhile they took 30 plus millions of tax dollars and wasted into zombie research and studies instead of trying to figure out how to save Humanity from starvation and giving kids presents think about the kids when it comes to Christmas times and birthdays nobody's thinking about the kids unless they're murdering raping or molesting them funny how the society is
What God is not helping out that's a shocker maybe if people reach down into their hearts and wallets and gave to the needy instead of to the church maybe then people can figure out what it's like to be human instead of brainwashed zombies when was the last time a mega church donated a toy drive
Come to my house I have lots of toys to donate!!!
I don’t have much but I still give to toys for tots! Even if the gift is just $5 dollars I can make a child happy for Christmas Day! ❤️🎄
They have some princess dolls on sale at Walmart.
Pathetic a church is bellyaching that they don't have enough "FREE" stuff. Ok bozo…..how about dipping into that million dollar church bank account to offset your bellyaching. After all it's "FREE" untaxed money. Hypocrites.
