Directors fired as $2M in toys, nearly $250K in cash go missing from Salvation Army centres

Mere days into its high-profile Christmas kettle drive and a busy donation season, the Salvation Army is grappling with two separate scandals that have led to senior personnel losing their jobs.

On Tuesday, the Salvation Army in Toronto announced $2-million worth of toys had disappeared from one of its major warehouses over a two-year period. It ordered an internal audit into the “irregularities” at the Railhouse Road warehouse and on Monday fired executive director David Rennie, said Major John Murray, spokesman for the Salvation Army’s Ontario Central East Division.

:-( Guess maybe their accounting oversight and inventory control leaves a tad to be desired.

There are slimy, crooked, poor excuses for human beings in about every organization.

SallyAnn has been and will be our main charity. They will clean house and carry on.

Too bad it's right before the Christmas season in a way. On the other hand the (alleged) thieves won't have any more opportunity this year. at least not at the Sally Ann.

Sally Anne is one of those organizations that does what it says it will do.
My dad told me that during the war, Sally Anne was always there to help.
Good enough for me, I am not all that religious but they can count on me
to help out a bit here

Well, sort of. The toys have been recovered(which is excellent news!), but since they will be used as evidence, they probably won't be available until after Christmas. So, while they won't be able to give them out this Christmas, at least they will be able to use them sometime in the future. So, some good news anyhow.:)

I agree! However, at least we can take solace in the fact that the thieves were discovered, the toys were recovered, and the kids will get their toys(just at a later date). Also, there are a lot of new donations being given because of this, so needy children will still receive some goodies.:)

I know, I just wanted a happy movie ending. Instead we get, bureaucracy and evidentiary proceedure. Kind of a mood killer. LOL.
