Sure it's a "religious" organization, but they just simply help people.
Michael Medved, a Jew, even has a red kettle on his website for donations. And Ray Kroc's (McDonalds owner) wife (Jewish)left a very hefty sum in her will to the SA.
They know it will literally do good in this world.
BTW, it happens every year, but there is some good samaritan who drops a $100 bill that wraps a gold bullion bar into a kettle, anonymously.
If I had the means, I'd love to do the same.
It gets harder by the year for us to give much to all the places that need it.
