A lot of people want to do good and give back. Many people do this by supporting charities, and that's an amazing thing. However there are some not so amazing charities. So here is three charities to look out for.
1. Salvation Army.
This is one of the most recognizable charities out there. especially since that have bell ringers stationed at almost every store during the holidays. However the support homophobia. The salvation army is church based. In 2011 they offered benefits to same sex couples, not long after that they took those benefits back. Salvation army has also had a history of not helping LGBT members until they deny being part of the community.
2. Susan G. Komen Foundation
First and foremost the foundation supports "pink washing". What this means is, a company will use the pink ribbon and say they want to end breast cancer, but then they sell products that have been linked with cancer. One example of this is Komen produced a purfume that had dangerous chemicals in it that have also been linked to cancer. The foundation also supports fraking, which leads to ground water contamination. As well as companies that use BPA, said companies support and donate the foundation. To top it all off the executives bring home very large paychecks, about 6 thousand dollars.
3. kids Wish Network.
This is one of the worse. Mainly because it takes from children. This is a 15 million dollar charity that yet again pays its executives the big bucks. It is reported that only 10 cents to the dollar that is donated is actually given to the charity.
