My dad tells the story of help from the Salvation Army when he was a kid and suffered through a fool in Illinois. He said that the SA was the one that helped him and my grandparent when the Red Cross wouldn't.

As far as helping the Boy Scouts. Look in the white pages of your telephone directory or go on line and find the local BSA council office. Become a Friend of Scouting (FOS) by pledging a contribution for the year. They are in desperate need of money all the time. They get no federal or state tax support. It is all strictly contributions. Even if the local UW hasn't cut them off completely, they have certainly cut back.
