Maybe you could post the latest on how the Salvation Army national organization brought to heel their Western group of thirteen states because the California leadership was ready to implement "domestic partner" benefits in order to comply with San Francisco's contractual demands to all contracting organizations.

It looks to me like the Salvation Army is still soundly led according to Biblical principles. They are far more deserving of donations than United Way or Red Cross. Just compare the salaries and perks. The leader of Salvation Army lives in what most people would consider poverty. And he is glad to serve the Lord humbly. I'm glad the Salvation Army still provides a sound example of Christian charity and conduct.

It looks to me like the Salvation Army is still soundly led according to Biblical principles.

Even more importantly, they appear to be soundly led by people of G-d.

Like that man you're named after.

Shalom.

The very best thing to do is to give the money directly to those in need or to your church to give to the folks who need it. This way you can track it and make sure it goes exactly where you want it to go. If the church will not allow you to track it then you need to go to another church. Big organizations like the red cross et al. need some of the money to support themselves and their goals (Which may not be your goal) I try to give more directly and I believe it is more efficient. I give it to the church and they write a check to who I say. This makes it an anonymous donation on my part. If I do not care about the recipient knowing who I am then I give it directly to them.
