Also, frankly, here in the Reno area it’s basically impossible to find a thrift store that’s not run by incredibly religious wackadoos. Best you can do is Goodwill, which is far from irreligious. Salvation Army is one of the few that isn’t blasting Jesus Rock on the speakers when you’re in there.
You can act according to your faith and still be a nice and accepting human being. Doing charity only as a promotional device would be a negative for conscience at least.
For religious people they’re sure eager to sell used “personal massagers” for $10.

Makes sense. Nevada’s got a certain reputation because of Vegas, but folks forget about how it’s also next to/inside the Mormon belt.
Latter-day Saints were some of the earliest white settlers of Las Vegas, if you can believe it.
With the amount of Mormon churches in Vegas I believe it.
You guys don’t have Value Village/Savers?
I love how when Christians aren’t charitable they are called hypocrites and when they are people complain that they are “religious wackadoos”, lol.

It’s not “only as a promotional device”, though.
I mean I guess they’re using the “charity” to generate personal cash as well
