    I wish there were better ways to help those in need than to donate directly to the Salvation Army.

    http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/story?id=2...1#.UMPduuTBHms - Look what they do with donated clothes!

    It's a good gesture but who knows where it goes.

    I know there are places around here locally where you can sponsor families. So you can actually be somewhat involved, etc.

      S.A. is way better than most IMO

      Yes , it is good to donate direct in your hometown but we (SBR) should be able to raise some cash to help somewhere.

      Costa Rica is fine by me

        I have donated to Salvation Army before, clothes, furniture, a tv, and of course cash. (The guys at the grocery stores are out in full effect with their Salvation Army jars and bell-ringing.)

        This year I did toys for tots.

        Maybe SBR would consider something for that, too?

                            do some homework and look for a local organization that actually does good in your own community and donate to them

                            ignore useless sam's advice....guey probably knows someone lining pockets with these donations
