DONATING ITEMS OR MONEY... WHICH GROUP?



A TIMELY REMINDER BEFORE YOUR GENEROUS SPIRITS OPEN YOUR WALLETS (for rest of year too).






The
American Red Cross
President and CEO Marsha J.
Evans'
salary for the year was $651,957
plus expenses



MARCH OF
DIMES
It is called the March of
Dimes because
only a dime for
every 1 dollar is given to the
needy.



The
United Way
President Brian
Gallagher
receives a $375,000 base salary
along with numerous expense benefits.



UNICEF
CEO Caryl M. Stern

per month) plus all expenses including a ROLLS
ROYCE.
Less than 5
cents of your donated dollar goes to the
cause.



GOODWILL
CEO and owner Mark Curran
profits $2.3 million a year.
Goodwill is a
very catchy name for his business.
You donate to his business
and then he sells the items for

help anyone!

During Hurricane Sandy, the ones that were there offering the most help...... The Salvation Army.
I ALWAYS throw into those kettles, since then.

I do Fisher House, USO and Salvation Army, all good causes IMHO. I hear the DNC is in urgent need of coloring books, play doh and cash for grief counseling.

^Thanks for the above. I am guilty of not fact checking, sometimes taking info at face value, even when it seems to be too good to be true.
