The Salvation Army USA - discrimination against a homeless woman

I have been attending the salvation army church for 5 years and became member for 2 1/2 years and was also employed at the thrift store in 2014. This is the most non-christian organization I have ever experienced. I was fired from the thrift store under false allegations but attended the church because I thought they were 2 separate entities (as they made it sounded). I attended the church and at the time, there were 2 officers who truly cared and helped me to understand being a christian and help others. They left and 2 other officers who one was a rookie and the other almost in retirement, took a lot of programs away and a lot of members left. Became homeless in the transition of officers and they never once offer to help me (just pray). They have a lot of money for that corp and did not even offer something to help me and my child. I never asked them for nothing except once toiletries and that was like pulling teeth when asked and a ride to church. I have been denied the right to go to church because one officer never reached out at all and the officer said he had to take his kids to another church so he can't pick me up. I understand I don't live close but that's the closest corps to me.

I am angry because i've been an active member and have participated in most of their programs, rallies, marches, fundraisers, etc. For the poor people and disenfranchised but I am poor and disenfranchised and they refuse to acknowledge my existence. I asked the old major for a job reference but she won't reply, I called the the corp several times this summer and no reply until I called a wonder lieutenant at the arc who gave them the message and that's when I found out that I won't be picked up for church because he has to take his kids to another church. They will not call me back nor talk to me so I guess being poor I am no use for them. I am being denied to go to church and I am homeless and not one official knowing my situation would not offer or even tried to help with the exception of receiving a voucher for glasses. I will keep complaining to anyone and everyone who will hear me until I get a satisfactory response and in hopes no ine else would ever be treated like this again.
