Apparently the Salvation Army treats homeless people like shit?

Someone told me not to donate to them recently because of this, and I had to do some research because I mean, you can't trust someone on just their word. Apparently, according to multiple sources, the Salvation Army don't seem to care much about the people they are out there to help...

Anyone know more about this here? Also, anyone know any alternative charities for homeless people?

Donate to a place that helps woman and children.

@wetncthru: I mean technically, women need more money due to how expensive menstrual products are... 🤔

@TearDropsOfLove: The majority of homeless people are men. There are already a lot of resources available to women and children.

@NorthernRoses: Of course ... I am just being facetious .... Charities and their "mishandling" of our charity really gets me veeeeeeeeeeeery pissed off. I have seen FAR too much of it.

@wetncthru: Charities are big business, existing primarily for the benefit of those at the top running them.

@suzie1960: I AGREE. 100% .... They run them on traditional corporate models and we all know where their corporate profits go .... Senior managements "running costs", shareholders and syphoning off-shore. Many charities merely have similar variations.
