I have a recollection of veterans saying the Salvation Army was far more attentive to their needs than the Red Cross. Who is in charge there now?

Gee, the CEO of the Red Cross makes only $600,000 per year. They would be a lot more effective if they paid thier CEO $6,000,000/s

I have the same recall. That Red Cross will charge the people they are happening but Salvation Army gets in, gets it done and no charge.

I'm talking of WW ll vets, to current vets. It is not discussed on a national level but when you talk to a vet, they often have the same sentiments.

Check "CHARITY NAVIGATOR" to see where you want your $$$ to go.

They will break down where donations really go to - like administrative $$$, etc.
