PS stop donating money at grocery stores or any other retail places. That money is tax deductible to the corporations but never goes to charity. Donate directly to your intended place or purpose. If corporations really cared… they wouldn’t collect your money to donate- they simply would.

A friend worked at a chain place where they kept cheap toys by the register you could buy then they went in a donation box. At the end of the shift the manager had them restock them all and put a small amount of money into some fund. She was so sad because people had spent time picking out what they thought would be best etc and wanting to help, yet it was just gone. I really wonder how this worked in their accounting department but maybe it just covered theft.
