I refuse to support The United Way, not even if the money (or some likely small percentage of it) is earmarked for The Salvation Army. I give directly to the SA. I know first hand of the work they do.

Years ago, when the arrogant UW "administrative costs" got unconscionable, and the Salvation Army pushed into a corner, I permanently dumped UW and the Red Cross among others.
SA now gets all my charity dollars.

Amen to that! The SA is there for our troops and for our poor. Regardless for who or even what you are. At 9/11 the Red Cross charged for coffee and donuts. A few blocks away, the Salvation Army gave it away for free. Now why is that? God first or me first? Who wins that race?

One time at work a group agreed to give the Salvation Army a donation during the United Way drive from their coffee fund, 6 months later U.W. sent the check back and asked them to change it to the Red Cross. Needless to say, they tore the check up.
