If it is a large family they will be even more generous.

I appreciate that you have seen them do good works, but they do evil as well:

They are a specific religious sect, and one that is pushing a radical right-wing anti-LGBTQ+ agenda.  You can find first-hand accounts of what it is like to try and survive in their shelters, which are described as sub-standard compared to others.

I would never donate to the Salvation Army.
