Underneath the thin facade of being a charitable organization, they’re really a disgusting Protestant sect of Christianity who loath homosexuality and have a fair share of controversies. There’s a few listed on Wikipedia if you want a starting point: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Salvation_Army#Controversies
While they have acted shady pertaining to American labor legislation, they operate globally and they do not deny aid to those in need. There isn’t a checklist of criteria you have to meet in order for the Salvation Army to help you.
The people who took care of me were genuinely of God. I suppose YMMV depending if you live in a sane country or not. We do live in the single most atheist country on the planet though, so I guess it’s not globally representative…
I spent January and February of 2020 in a state park living in a two man summer tent that I had used twenty years prior and stowed away in the attic in the weird case I would ever become homeless. I was very proud of myself when I discovered that, good thinking. It didn’t do much against the half meter snow, but I did get to see a beaver. Have you seen a beaver?

How did they know you were gay?
“I can’t, Jesus is too sexy and I find myself wondering which hole would be the most fun. I’m thinking probably the left hand.”
