Similar experience. Red Cross SOLD the coffee to fire fighters. Salvation Army housed and helped an addicted relative. SA had low overhead costs and Red Cross was caught with extravagant overhead benefits.
Still hold out hope this isn’t true.
I wish it were not too. Unfortunately I just went on their website and a few minutes of clicking around confirms it.
Sad.
For anyone looking for a place to park their money, please remember that there is a Freepathon underway.
Cheers FRiends!
My experience in the service also made me hold the SA in high regard. Matter of fact, for many years it would be the ONLY charity I would donate to.
My yearly Christmas donation came to a halt in 2017 when the SA decided it didn’t like President Trump and withdrew from a charity golf tournament at Mar a Lago.
What they do now is of no consequence, they are dead to me.
