I agree. I know there are operating costs but there should be a minimum percentage they must actually spend on the cause they claim to support.

I did NOT say anything bad about them, but the ONLY time I ever see them is when they want money.......

My comment was about the charities listed. Don't want Jake to think it was about his comment.

This the the reason that I do not contribute to charities without first researching them the best that I can.

I figure if I get an unsolicited phone call from a charity... especially if I hear the din of 50 other people in the background, lol... I just tell 'em I don't have a job.

Which is true. (I'm retired.)

I prefer donating to the Church, or St. Vincent dePaul, or the Waterfront Rescue Mission, Food Bank, etc.

The Waterfront Rescue Mission is kind of a misnomer isn't it... since Studer bought the building, and (I think) tore it down? Didn't they build a new one up near Town & Country?
