i have just been through a period of time where an organisation clamed they could find people
they lie they dont help fathers to find and to be able to see there children from broken relationships
so went in and started to verafy who works for the salvation army
the amount of police and police investigators located behind doors that should not just fall open is completely idiotic
why are we the general public donating money , clothes , household items to the supposed religious sector
lies and more lies
just wanted people to know what we found hiding instore
police with no real duties for a reason they are investigators
its a cruel world with more lies than they can dictate to us all

I understand that the dumping of "Rubbish" has become a major problem for a lot of Op shops but I agree , The Sallies are soooo fussy about what they will accept.. I know some people who have donated very nice things to the Sallies and don't anymore because they never saw it in the shop, I can't help but wonder if there's a bit of behind the scene ' reservations' going on. We seem to have a group of older women in our local outlet who are quite keen on getting 'first dibs'. I no longer donate to the Salvation Army. Instead, I give to our local Birthrite store - their prices are reasonable and they are always grateful for donations. In some instances where the wooden furniture has been 'below standard' , they have asked if the giver minds if it is used for kindling. Low income families need heat too ! It's a good idea !
