Let me get this right. All the food is being donated along with the facility and people are volunteering so what exactly is the Salavation Army doing? Plus they are opening this up to everyone when it should be for those that really need it and not the muchers of our community. The Salavation Army is not what it was 50 years ago just look at the fact they have no people joining their ranks they have none of their people manning the kettles. There never is any accounting of the funds they receive or exactly where those funds go to. Everything you read about them is they want people to donate everything so why do they need to have people and kettles out there for 2 months. Would not surprise me if they had their kettles up to New Year's day.

Good point and I always wondered about some of the points you have brought up. My understanding is in other states people are looking into the activities of this organization.
