I wonder how many people donate who wouldn’t donate if they knew? I only found out a few years ago.
Are you suggesting it’s not the real Santa?
I used to do it. Not a lot of money since I rarely carry cash but I’d give them my bottle return vouchers when I went to meijer or Kroger
Is the bucket for a certain organisation?
Salvation Army I believe
Perhaps The Salvation Army.

Thanks! I’ve definitely seen charity shops in the UK run by them, but I wasn’t aware of the bucket
rings bell

I’m like this close to tipping the damn buckets over when I have to go through the door at my grocery store.
Some sort of Christian paramilitary group?
Nah they run shelters and food aid for the homeless but refuse to serve LGBTQ folk
It’s a conservative christian “charity” that uses charity as a vehicle for propaganda
Based on context clues (chiefly Mia’s comment) I think it’s the Salvos.
Make sure you look at the sign though, around here sometimes other people put out buckets than the Salvation Army.
