I’m on 8chan and that’s not what I’m seeing for that post.

Hmmm.

Also, one anon has posted there that the salvation army is dirty. Anyone here have info on that? I’ve always thought they were ok.

Also Habitat for Humanity, Red Crescent, Clinton Foundation

A few years ago tornados hit a town close to me. The salvation army showed up within a couple of hours. They had food and clothing. My friend said she and her family will forever be grateful.

I once went there to give a donation that Humana chipped in half..the guy was in tears saying a lady(whom was leaving as I arrived) need diapers and food for her baby. He kept thanking me and assured me he could now provide her that day with help.

Hard to imagine the Salvation Army being dirty. The director makes very little. I’d be very disappointed if it was bad. All the rest I can agree on easily, including Red Cross, heard lot of bad about them.

I think like anything else, that Charities can be infiltrated and bad things happen. Particularly if the office you are dealing with is a large city, but certainly individuals in rural areas can succumb to temptations too.

The best thing to do IMO, is to either volunteer to be on a local board where you can track the finances, or to give money to a local group where you know the people on the board and those doing the work.

In addition, for anyone interested, you can go to guidestar.org and see the most recent 3 years of IRS 990 forms that almost all charities are required to file annually.

In addition, you may request a copy of a charities financials, and they must provide them. In person requests are due in 24 hrs. Written requests are due in 30 days. IIRC, you may be charged a per page cost.

I do still help ring the bell for my local Salvation Army. Largely due to the help it gave my Dad when he arrived back in N.York after WWII. With little money, no food, no shelter, and no way to get home.

They took care of him and bought him a bus ticket home. We are allowed to give checks that restrict the Salvation Army donations to use in our county. I do this because our county is one of the poorest in the State. The surrounding counties are much better off.

I most respect OPERATION BLESSING. CBN covers 100% of their organizational overhead so that 100% of donations reach the end user in need.

2nd I give to Samaritan's Purse--that has a relatively low overhead when compared to other such orgs.
