It’s the one charity I trust. It’s the one that you see really doing something for the poor so you might know the libs would be going after them.

The Salvation Army and my church are the ONLY places that get my donations/tithes.

I agree and even though I probably can’t afford it I will be giving MORE to them this year. This organization really does good work.

I don’t mind dropping them some change outside of Wally World. Now when United Way comes into my workplace, I tell them to go to hell.

I have refused any donations to United Way for 20+years. If that means "we don't meet our goal"--tough. I don't trust the Red Cross -- too top heavy with rich, extremely well paid directors.

My charity of choice is the Salvation Army, for many, many years.

I used to be heavily involved with a small rural fire and rescue squad.

Anytime there was a major incident (flood, forest fire, house fire, etc), The Salvation Army could be counted on to be there, passing out coffee and sandwiches to the guys (and girls) working the scene. And generally in the case of a house fire, they'd be there with food, clothes, vouchers for places to stay, etc, for the family before the fire was out.

In my experience, agencies like the Red Cross will help....grudgingly. Lots of paperwork. Lots of time. Lots of red tape. The Salvation Army doesn't work that way. If you need a hand....right now....they provide it.

They get the lion's share of my charitable donations. I've already written them my XMas check, but I may send another one after reading this.

For years I have boycotted for paying bell ringers, however now because they are standing firm in their professed faith in Christ, I will again support them.
