Salvation Army, USO are my two.
Red Cross? never
Right out of college I interviewed with them for a position in our community.
I was not hired BUT...the woman who got the job was a Doctor's wife from three counties away... WHERE SHE CONTINUED TO LIVE and they gave her 80K
I NEVER give to them. I WILL give to the Salvation army and VFW
Ditto that. Toys for tots is another one of mine. 98 plus % goes directly to the kids. And,it’s fun.
