The Sallies is one charity I actually trust to do as they say (spend the money received in the communitry they get it from, for services for the homeless & substance abuse addicts.) People come by & ask me, "Aren't you cold?" & I reply, "That's why we do this. . ." giving a look that suggests digging deeper to donate more (most did!) I've been known to see someone pick through a stack of big bills, to find the smallest, to say, "Oh, come on, drop in at least a $20, to say thank you to God you're in such decent shape!" Most laugh & agreeably comply. . . :D For myself, I'd just sit quietly & say thank you, but when wearing the SA apron, I'm REPRESENTING all they help, some of whom I know personally. I lost my job at the salvation army soup kitchen last night. All I said was hurry up some of us have homes to go to... Went into a Salvation Army store and saw a radio. It was turned up full blast but the volume knob was missing. It only cost 1 dollar. I said boy I can’t turn this down. Gatorade should run some kind of charity xconcert promotion where they raise funds to help preserve endangered species of alligator. Gator Aid. I won $6million in the lottery and have decided to donate a quarter of it to charity.... I now have $5.999,999,75c left. I just received a call from a Charity asking me to donate some of my old clothes to the starving people around the world... I told them, "Anyone who fits into my clothes, certainly isn't starving.
