And Walmart allows Salvation Army bell-ringers during the Chrismas season in

Maybe I'm naive, but I thought the stores that kept out bellringers
didnt' want to have to distinguish between the Salvation Ary and the
Moonies or whatever the competing group is.

Target regularly gives money to many charitable causes -- a certain
percent of their profits -- and charitable groups that fit within their
corporate charitable donation policies (children's groups, educational
groups, health and welfare groups, etc.) are welcome to ask for grants.
They do TONS for charitable causes -- veterans' hospitals, schools,
foster children, etc.
