When they give to the drug addicted criminals community it should be to support mandatory treatment facilities, not the free drugs and everything else for free woke charities.

This Christian organization is trying to do some good in the world, and here you are b*tching about it. They don't provide free drugs. Hell, the program this donation was made to isn't even for addicts! It's for people with severe mental health challenges. "Mandatory treatment facilities" -- There aren't enough voluntary treatment facilities for addicts! There aren't enough beds for in-patient mental health care! 100k would be a drop in the bucket for a rehab/mental health facility, it wouldn't even cover the salary for two full-time nurses. Not to mention, Rotary donated 50k to this program, and the rest went to scholarship programs. Plus, this money isn't coming from taxpayers, it's from people who voluntarily donated. You don't want to donate? That's fine! You don't agree with the use of the money? That's fine! But what are you doing to help fix the problems our community and individuals are experiencing other than just complaining online?

To many right wing bleeding heart wokes in our society, supporting drug addiction and crime. Homelessness and mental health issues are created in large through continued use of illegal drugs.
