While the Sally Ann isn’t a company but a charity, no matter the sect you or it claim it belongs to, it is the SOLE charity that truly walks its talk.

Its CEO brings home less in a year than your local united way scammer takes home in a month.

Money donated to the SA actually goes to its intended recipients. Can you say that about ANY other charity?

As to the politics of envy: wrong site. This isn’t communism today or dimrat underground,

Thanks for playing. Come again.

WTF are you attacking me? I merely pointed out that it’s a church, not a company!

The Salvation Army is a Christian denominational church and international charitable organization structured in a quasi-military fashion. The organization reports worldwide membership of over 1.5 million,[1] consisting of soldiers, officers and adherents known as Salvationists. Its founders Catherine and William Booth sought to bring salvation to the poor, destitute and hungry by meeting both their “physical and spiritual needs”. It has a presence in 126 countries,[2] running charity shops, operating shelters for the homeless, and providing disaster relief and humanitarian aid to developing countries.

The theology of the Salvation Army is mainstream Methodist although it is distinctive in government and practice. The Army’s doctrine follows mainstream Christian beliefs, and its articles of faith emphasize God’s “saving purposes”. Its objects are “the advancement of the Christian religion… of education, the relief of poverty, and other charitable objects beneficial to society or the community of mankind as a whole.”[3]

Sole charity that walks the talk? Take a look at Catholic Charities and the St. Vincent de Paul society. On the latter, I’ve never seen an overhead greater than 0.1%.

"Money donated to the SA actually goes to its intended recipients."

Responsible givers know the Salvation Army is the biggest "bang for the buck" in all of charity kingdom.
Can never go wrong with a gift to them.
