Thanks to Russell for starting this excellent thread. I'm sure it's
going just how he planned :)

The "no good deed shall go unpunished" department requires me to note
that there are things to criticize about the Salvation Army. A
not-insignificant percentage of the population wishes to have nothing to
do with them (the Salvation Army has already made it clear that the
feeling is mutual).

If you want a different way to support Nepal, have a meal at a Nepalese
restaurant and ask your server how to help. Chances are good someone
there sends money to family back home and will know the best way to do
it.
