What does that say about the people who would condemn that good deed solely on the basis of those who perform it?
You'd rather say, screw the kids? You'd rather they get nothing as opposed to something given to them by a religious charity?
This seems monumentally wrong.
I've donated a shoebox to Operation Christmas Child since I was in grade 3. I'll continue, thanks.

Who is saying they should get nothing? How about giving the gifts - hold the religion?
There are plenty of non-religious and secular groups that give aid all over the world. Indoctrinating poor vulnerable children to any particular religion is seen as a form of child abuse by many (ex. Dawkins). I wouldn't go that far - I think children should be taught about all religions. Missionaries don't do that though.
A true gift has no catch attached to it.
