There have been several on here asking for donations. I think the people in charge has tightened that up and I haven't seen anymore for a while. I donate what I don't want to goodwill or salvation army.
I was thinking the same thing. We heard of a student at our college who had all her money stolen at WalMart and had nothing for her kids for Christmas. The staff went out a bought her a car load of things for the kids (some very expensive) and when we delivered them to her house the living was filled with presents. At first we thought someone else had donated but she explained that they were all from her family and she had even bought all 3 kids bikes. Its too bad something like this makes a person a little cautious and cynical.
