The Red Cross needs money to pay their salaries and benefits. Salvation Army helps people, not themselves.

I would add United Way into the Bad Charity group. Do not forget, I was a stone cold crackhead once, and I needed help.

Red Cross wasn't even on the radar. United Way only directed me to groups that could help.

Salvation Army, on the other hand, gave me groceries. Stuck me in a short term recovery house. Introduced me to long term recovery houses. Gave me support of every manner, so long as I followed their simple rules.

SA is the BEST.

Absolutely right,,,Elizabeth Dole made big bucks when she was head of it, something like 300 grand, not against Elizabeth Dole, just that the Christian charities, Salvation Army, World Vision, Samaritans purse etc do not pay big wages.

The Christian charities (the real Christian charities) do far more and with less money

Same deal with United Nations UNICEF, or really any of the Non Christian Charities

I only give to World Vision, Samaritans purse and Salvation Army

Would not give a dime to others if I could help it

I did not know that about United Way, Laz. That aside, it took a great deal of courage on your part, Laz, to make that journey.
