I have recently been disabled and salvation army has helped my family as well.I worked for them years ago volinteering now they returned the favor.The one in abilene Texas has a drug rehab as well that pays there addicts and alcaholics 10 dollars a day and gives them a place to stay while they get clean.They are live in and work in the store as well as trucks.It is a great program not gov funded.I have worked in treatment at a few places that paid theres was the very best program I have ever scene.The program also has a step up program that gets them emploied after 60 days while they live there they keep there money until enough is saved to get an apartment.Several company's are involved and provide jobs for these people trying to do better.They require that you get 60 days before you leave and work outside the compound until they provide a small job and money as well as 3 meals a day.We as Americans need more programs such as this to help the less fortunate help them selves.That is why the program is called step up not hand out.
