I have to sadly say it is true. I have to say I have had the unfortunate displeasure of overhearing a group talk about how another group got items donated to them and were sold to raise money for cancer, and it "left them in an unfair disadvantage" in a race to get the most money. It was something I was shocked to hear. Sort of disappointing to hear.
However, I went to a dumpster once and got a perfect good scrapbooking stuff, before I started quilting.
