I have heard the Salvation Army referred to as “Christianity with its sleeves rolled up.”
I think it describes the organisation perfectly.

I’ve been a volunteer at the Salvation Army Xmas day lunches.
All the food was donated by local shops.

It's possible that the money for Christmas was partly taken out of general funds in order to ensure that no-one missed out. In that case, your cheque (and my online payment) might go to reimburse the general fund. So, in a roundabout way your donation will have done what you intended.

There's never an inventory showing where money for charity goes.

I support this charity because I am impressed with the work they do . Before Christmas they were asking for donations to provide the homeless with a Christmas dinner. An excellent idea. However I have noticed that the cheque has not been cashed so the money will just go into general funds. Is this deception or something we just have to accept?
