Instead of putting your money in a bell-ringer’s kettle of religious bigotry, give to one of these inclusive organizations:

• Goodwill – Supports the poor, the homeless, the disabled, and the unemployed
• The Ali Forney Center - providing shelter for homeless LGBT youth in New York City
• True Colors Residence – Cyndi Lauper’s new shelter for homeless LGBT Youth
• Doctors Without Borders – providing medical and emergency relief all over the world
