That doesn't surprise me.  I've had firsthand experience with the Salvation 
Army during disaster recovery; other than the Mennonite's (who even brought 
their own food and drinking water so as not to take anything intended for the 
victims) the Salvation Army was the only group worth a damn.  As a result, I 
NEVER pass up one of their collection pots.  I would recommend the same to anyone 
who wants to see his contribution go to ease suffering in an undiluted manner.
