I've given money to the Salvation Army. Would they come and help me pay my bills? I think they should not and stick with helping people who really do need the help. Not with helping people that choose to be in trouble. I wonder what would happen if I got pissed at my employer and walked out? I’ve given money to the Salvation Army.

Um....sounds like good sense to me. Boeing workers on strike are eventually Boeing workers with a better contract and higher pay. They remember assistance in a time of need and give back to the Salvation Army. I cannot confirm or refute your story SOB.

Good for the receiver and good for the tax deduction. I'm leary of Salvation Army though myself. Years ago I read they gave services to striking Boeing people. I have a hard time giving to a charity that gives to people on strike by choice. I have no data to back up what I read, but I remember reading that way back then. Perhaps the info was wrong. I hope it was but I'd like to know for sure either way. Yes, charitable contributions are great. Good for the receiver and good for the tax deduction.

St Anthony Shelter sells wonderful Angel Ornaments as a fundraiser. They can be gotte at Cath Chrities downtown; also at the parishes. I like the Ornaments as gifts for out-of-towners on my list.

This is a GREAT idea, because these are the folks that later on end up homeless on the street and then we have a bigger problem! Joe.. Thanks for being part of the solution. It takes every government and church charity working together to really make a difference! If this season is about nothing else, it should be about having compassion on your fellow man!! Phillip..

On the website it says that the applicants are screened by Salvation Army personnel. That's cool. I e-mailed them to ask if they accept Paypal online. I guess I can go through the motions and input the donation information and see where it takes me for donation processing. But I didn't want to make a blank entry on their database without a donation. I guess I can drop by a check. :) 'tis the season for giving.' Sounds good.
