I called the district office of a big thrift store here that says it gives money to VietNam vets. The district office refused to tell me the percent of what they give. I did check on the site that KalamaQuilts gave but Savers and Value Village are not listed. When a company refuses to give me an amount or percentage, then that means they are hiding something. I am thinking the percentage is something like 0.0025.

when working in Banking in Houston i gave to the united fund and my money went to Faith Adoption home. When i moved to Colorado the home kept sending me mail. they always wanted to give me a t-shirt or something for money. i contacted them and said to skip the goodies for me, just take my funds. i hate to think I'm really buying a t-shirt i do not need.

I keep getting calls that say "This is your final courtesy call to renew your auto warranty"..they spoof all the small towns around me, also some local ID & phone numbers. They rattle on and I wait for them to say "Press 1 to speak to the agent". So I REALLY want to do this! I press #1 and the call is terminated. Now tell me how they can benefit from that?! IDIOTS!
