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?

Have you ever been to a 'Salvation Army?' To see the clothes donated? Do you have any clue the profits made? From your donations?
2years ago I was planning a trip north. I picked out a heavy coat. The price was $20.00 but I felt I would need it...And changed my mind MID transaction. The cashier refused to give me my money back. I will NEVER cross their door again! I hadn't left the building... still at the register and I wasn't given the opportunity to get a refund.
