That nine cents helps feed the hungry, makes Christmas possible for a lot of needy kids, and provides substance abuse counseling for those that need that, and a lot of other social service programs. The Salvation Army helps put people back on their feet who have been knocked down by life, and they do it without high paid executives like some other organizations. Instead, they do it with love, and purpose, and a resolve to make things better in this world. I can find no flaw in that effort, and the Salvation Army needs money to do it. The money comes from you, and you give it not because you care about the Salvation Army. You give it because you care about people who have no one else to turn to.
