Reply #30: Yes, they do great work too, and (IMO) don't seem religious/bigotted

I went to one when I was younger, and volunteer a few times a week there now, and have found them to be one of the better organizations out there. While they are part of the Salvation Army (which I admittedly don't know as much about), which many here dislike, I haven't seen any signs of bigotry, anti-gay, or other questionable motivations from the B&GC. If they didn't have the title "Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club", I would have never guessed they were connected to a religious group, as I haven't seen any religious activity at the ones where I have been/helped out at. I give both time and money to my local B&GC, as they do a lot of great work by giving kids a place to go after school, helping them with homework, providing meals, setting up sports leagues and so on.
