Youe donation goes to Freddies Fart Fund, which is not a registered charity (so you can’t claim it as a deduction) but a sub company of Freddy Fishmongers
Freddy Fishmongers then donates to a registered charity and claims the deduction…after their Fart Fund takes its cut to cover processing and administration of course…
Donations straight to a charity do a lot of good. That’s not what these guys are doing.
Are you saying none of the money a grocery store collects ultimately goes toward feeding the hungry? I want to stress here that anything more than nothing is food in hungry mouths here.
You’re fixating on a better than nothing aporoach- but it’s not an either/or.
You can tell corporations to shove their tax dodges up their arses while still donating elsewhere.
Also, i get you have a personal connection to hunger, does it reframe if i point out a lot of donation demands i see in supermarkets aren’t actually to feed or shelter the unhoused?
The problem is I don’t believe it. That’s called fraud and so far as I know, in Canada, that isn’t something you can just do. They have to give to the food bank.
Please read my comment again. They pick the “charity” not you. RFDS is one i see quite often, alongside the heart foundation. These are not food banks.
I give $2 to the food bank every time I shop at the grocery store. I know how it feels to be hungry. I mean actually hungry.
If the thousand people who showed up that day also gave $2, that would amount to so much more.
Are you telling me it’s more important to resent the grocery store for making money than it is to feed the hungry?
What happens down here:

Taxes have nothing to do with this.
