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?

If you want to help, try occasionally cleaning out your pantry. Donate cans and boxed foods. Search through your child's Toy Box and take these to a homeless shelter.
My personal believe is that it's harder for the children to adjust.
I never had to move a lot. I always remained in the same place.
I do have a "local" trade/exchange group. It's free to join makes it easier to get rid of items you no longer use. WWW.Freecycle.Org. Every city should have this. You can ask for or offer items. They come to you to pick up. Arrangements are made via email.
