Thanks to our tanked economy, there are millions of Americans who are

You can make a difference through your charitable contributions to
non-profit organizations that help the needy with food, shelter,
clothing, medical care, et cetera.
There are many organizations that help.
Here's one:

Giant has lost my business this Christmas.
Wow...that sucks.
From the article:
"Giant said that they don't want the bells to "hinder their [customers']
shopping experience."
What a bunch of b.s. The Salvation Army kettles are part of the holiday
experience. Besides, what kind of "shopping experience" is there at a
supermarket? It's just a supermarket, and not a particularly good one.
Remember when Giant was locally owned? It was a far better organization
before it was bought out by a series of distant corporate empires.
I called Giant's Consumer Affairs office. The lady acted surprised when I said I'd not be shopping
there.
Here, I'll save you the trouble:
