I think the Salvation Army is short of donations this year for many reasons. First of all, I think that the salvation army is short of donations because of the economy. One major issue are prices of items or things you need to survive like food and gas. I personally think because the Prices are getting higher on gas and things like clothes that people are becoming more selfish because they think they aren't going to have anything left if they donate to the Salvation Army. I also think because there are very few jobs available now, that many citizens barely make enough to support their family so they really dont want to donate to the Salvation Army. Therefore this is what I think is the cause of the decrease in donations in the Salvation Army.
I would believe that the Salvation Army is short of donations for many reasons. One reason is that things are happening to fast with everyone in the U.S. today. The gas prices and with the war going on and many other events, some people cannot afford to give up anything in their grasps at this time. Many families are worrying about how to even get money to have a decent holiday meal, food and presents. Another reason is because of people having to hold onto their precious money they have to survive, people have became a bit selfish. Whenever you hear about a donation compaign, you hear people saying, "I got money and old clothes and old toys but I'm not giving anyone anything!" I would think people are losing the sense of tradition and helpfulness in their hearts because of whats happening. Many people out there does want to help, but unfortunately they're unable to because they have their own shortage of things they need just to live off of. These are reasons why there are a shortage of donations with the Salvation Army. Thinking about how children aren't getting all the things they need to try to enjoy a holiday or get by in life, makes me sad...
One real reason why the salvation army may be short on donations is because of the economy. The fact that people are barely making means that they have less to give to others because they hardly have enough for themselves. Another reason is because some people just don't care enpugh to donate anything. Some people just have the time or don't have the effort to try and give things to others.

There are many reasons why the Salvation Army is short of donations. Maybe people don`t have anything to donate anymore. I mean people are out of jobs and stuff now. People have to stuggle to keep what they have now. They probably can`t afford to donate things. People are "pinching pennies" just to survive now. So basically it does have to do with the economy.
The salvation army is not getting that much help and losing donations because people do not give.Some people are selfish and only care for themselves and not others.I believe in giving to others.I also care for others besides my self.
I feel that the Salvation Army is short donations because people just might not have the holiday spirit. Or they could possiblily not not have the money right now to buy gifts. And that is tonice to donate things to less fortunate kids and people in general.So I know that I'm going to go home clean out my closet and give away alot of the clothes that I can't fit anymore. So that i can make someones christmas a little better.
I think that the Salvation Army is short donations because of our poor economy and other reasons. Of course, everyone knows that Michigan is not the richest state in the nation. We do have a rather enormous deficit so, that could be one of the reasons for the decline in donations. I also think that there are people who have but just are not giving. I don't think that people mean to forget; maybe they are just so caught up in their success and business that they forget to give back. I was always taught that when I become successful to give back to the community because no one becomes successful without the help of at least one person. I just think some people forgot that.
I think that the salvation army is short on donations this year mainly brcause of the way the economy is today. Many people have lost their jobs, homes, or even both. I do not think that it is done pur[posly but its hard enough for people to provide for their own families. Thed cost of living has become much higher so its harder for people to make donations.
I would say for a fact its because of the situation our economy is in. People are loosing jobs, and being laid off everyday. With that being a factor, you cant make your house note, let alone, have money yo donate. Its a said situation, but its true.
