Salvation Army is founded and based in England. They give the new good toys to the children who goes to their churches. They have a summer camp, but if you need food or shelter, you have to try to prove that you need it and my uncle stayed there and soup and sandwiches were free and you had to pay for better food. They kicked you out during the day and found you temporary work like moving chairs around at the coliseum for less than minimum wage so you can buy other food if you want it. After so long, you can't stay there any longer. They don't spend 85 cents on the dollar here unless you count the captains salaries and they always provided the captains with a house to live in while they are over a certain church. I went there once when I was waiting on disability and they were soo nasty to me for a couple of bags of free food and then suddenly they weren't giving food every month, but they only were giving it once every 3 months. They show off during hurricanes etc, but they don't really do that much. The captains put in request for certain size clothes for their own kids and the new stuff donated goes to the captains and their families or to places like New York where they can get top dollar for the new items. So they are good to kids going to the church but they don't spend that much money here in the USA except for employee salaries and benefits.
