Headline:
Spa offers day of beauty to homeless women
Last paragraph:
The women got to take home their robes and a small bag of gifts from two local ministries. This is the fifth year Beauty Essentials has offered its services to homeless women.
"taken home" their robes?
You'll shoot your eye out.

WTF?
Here's a thought: try giving them food and clothing. At least the robes will help keep them warm [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif[/img] That may be the stupidest idea in the history of mankind.

I don't see it as bad. Atleast they are giving them something they may have never had. Maybe they will decide that they like it so much they will get a job.
crack is whack
What I was pointing out was they said these homeless women could "take home" their gifts.
Bet they'd like to have a home to do that with.

It isn't bad,but it sure as heck isn't practical either. My pont being that there's so much more that they need than a makeover. Give them that amount in clothes and food.

off topic here but does the Salvation Army still bring in gifts to the prisoners at Christmas? my sister and brother-in-law were working at Red Onion a few years back when the Salvation Army bought in gift packages for the inmates. I've never given to the S.A. since. There are people in need and to give them gift packages smacks of "helping people in need" to me.

I've had a similar experience with the Salvation Army, unfortunately. I found out who some of the folks were that they were assisting when they did angel trees in this area some time ago and it kind of burst my bubble.
And then there's the red cross, where a HUGE portion of donations goes to "administrative" uses (i.e. salaries)..
It kind of messes with a person. You know help is needed but you want to make sure what you give really goes where it's needed.
