Salvation Army in trouble

If this is happening nationwide, maybe we all could pitch in just a little more.

The Salvation Army said it may need to reduce some of its services despite increasing demand because of lack of donations in Denver.

Capt. Ron McKinney, city coordinator for The Salvation Army, said people are seeking services from the charity in numbers that haven't been seen in decades but donations are down 30 percent. Salvation Army officials said because of the decline in donations, 360 families seeking services were turned away last month.
A commenter there pointed out that if we each just gave up one froufrou coffee, we could make a huge difference.
