He pays nothing for his products and pays his workers minimum wage! Nice Guy. $0.00 goes to help anyone! Stop giving to this man. |

give it to ANY

This was found to be false. Someone with a grudge put it up. There is a site to check up on charities before you give, I forget the name, gives CEO names, administrative costs, the whole nine yards. That thing about the March of Dimes should be a tip-off it's 75% B.S.
Goodwill has really raised their prices in the past couple of years, too.
Some of the figures are outdated. It is very smart to check out your charity before you donate. My charity is St Jude's Children's Hospital. I hope every one can donate something this Christmas Season.
MsN:
This would seem to work well with the tail end of today's post (Friday 13th)...
I'm very particular to whome we donate.
You can add the Wounded Warrior Project to the "good" list, too.
Thanks for sharing.
Have a great weekend.
Stay safe & warm down there.
