1. Not surprised

They are building huge new buildings all over my area. Living in a mansion while paying employees next to nothing. I quit giving to them long ago.. it is hard to find a charity that is honest any more.

The Veterans Charity I used to give to gave 20% to charity. I give mine to my local boy scouts and Fish, a Church based charity, the Churches in my area are still doing a great job. Going out in work crews, providing meals, new supplies. The 15 tornadoes destroyed 600 homes in one area and they swept across many areas here. Massive damage across a wide area.

2. I don't give to them either.

I give to a church in my area that has a give away every two weeks. They will take anything furniture, clothing, knickknacks etc. If someone needs it they can go there and get it for free.
