    You could accomplish the same thing by putting $26.00 in one kettle. I give to the Salvation Army as I consider them my favorite charity.

    Every Chance I get.

    Almost 100% of donations go to their charitable outreach.

    Salvation Army is one of the better causes according to Charity Navigator.

    Better to the Salvation Army than the United Way or Red Cross to who I give nothing 'cause they are rip offs.

    When I shipped out in 1968...early in the morning, the Salvation Army was there handing out bags of toothpaste and such to all the men...I always throw money into their buckets...

    Salvation army is the best. I used to ring the bell for the kettle at Christmas as a volunteer. They need more volunteers to do this and other things. They help a lot of people and thier staff live very austere lives. The money gets to help those who need it!

    Donated lots of money to the Salvation Army by shopping at their thrift stores.

    Last thing I bought was a $8.00 out the door office chair, roller wheels, pneumatic raise/lower, swivel and looked like new, did I mention the corinthian leather?.

    Kitchen "stuff" usually sells for scrap price. Need a glass top for a large pan, bet It'll cost $2.00. Lots of other thrift shops within a few miles.

    Never know what's needed until I get to their store. Think some day like Wednesday is 20% off day.

    Most of the funds go to the ministry, salaries for leadership positions are surprisingly modest. I support it at Christmastime, when local anonymous donors double match gifts.

    I donated a substantial amount last year and have ben bombarded by begging letters every week since then. They spent a good portion of the donation which would have been better used for services to the less fortunate. Meals on wheels gets the donation this year.
