Salvation Army ID Check
I honestly don't know what to say to this. I know when I ran an International Wish List Project, the three of us in charge of it understood that there was going to be some fraud from the people that applied. It goes with the territory, unfortunately. We accepted it and worked through it. A small price to pay for the greater good.
You can't hold the actions of a few against the masses.
Does the Salvation Army have a right to try to minimize the abuse that's bound to happen? In theory, sure. For practical reasons, that's sensible. You can only do what you can with the resources you have and you want to put it to the best possible use. There is no unlimited supply of anything in this world when it comes to charity and no one can assume that people are able to pull resources out of thin air.
I can't even imagine the wide range scale they have to function within though. I'm sure this year is worse than probably all the others. They've got to be stressed about how to pull it all off and meet the demands.
No one wants to be responsible for not being able to live up to their chosen goal. That's devastating.
All bets should really be off when you're dealing with kids though. You're talking about toys. You're not talking about passing out thousand dollar bills and houses.
I don't know.
I'm distressed and I'm not even doing it.
I can't imagine how horrible the people feel, who had no part in the requirement decisions - yet are the ones forced to face the recipients involved -- and turn them away.
How the fuck do you sleep well after that?
That sort of thing can haunt you forever.
