We utilize the Salvation Army in a nearby small town in Texas, they’ve never failed (and we give to them also). I’ve taken a few down-and-out folks to their shelter during cold months in the past.
They operate a shelter on a basis of “sure, you’re welcome here but the caveat is that you must help clean up the facilities as you use them and where needed each day”.
Those are Christian principles. United Way can go their OWN way...
Only one has said, “I don’t need any of that” and as I cell phoned, he asked, “Who’re you calling?” I told him the Sheriff’s office to report a vagrant. He changed his mind, the SA said that he cooperated when I checked up on him.
I’m glad to hear it! I have heard good things about some local Salvation Army organizations and how government has been illegally forcing them to get rid of “God”.
