Maybe if they didn't make it a religious thing it would be different. Using people who need your help as a captive audience for ministry is parasitic and many other bad words.

I was going to say something like this.
They treat a lot of the homeless community like shit.
I was homeless on Merchants for 3 years, they knew this. One summer I only had a pair of flip flops. The flip flops broke and I only had $8. They broke in front of Applebee's so my spouse walked down there to get me a pair of shoes. He brought back a pair that was a size too small. I limped with him (potentially stepping on glass because there's no sidewalk through there) to the karm store. He went back in and pleaded with them to trade another pair. He just left the store 30 minutes ago. Same employees. They refused. They wouldn't do it.
One of the older blonde ladies who worked there used to follow us in her car as we walked and tell us to stay away from 'her' store. Very Christian.

Parasitic to which party?

KARM is an explicitly Christian organization. Why, and how, would they operate the shelter in a way that is not “a religious thing”? In what universe would that make one bit more than no sense?
