I've seen both good and bad from the Sally Anne. I've seen the good works they do for families and children but then again I've seen them turn away someone who was just released from jail, 500 miles from home, and had nowhere to go for the night.
There is, however, a special place in hell for people who steal from charities. A few years ago I read in the news that the director of a charity food bank, that my family and I regularly gave to, was arrested for selling donated food to line her own pocket. Over the years we had given thousands of dollars worth of food to the place. Not just stuff that we wanted out of our cupboards; stuff that we specifically bought and donated.
