[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, that letter is rude and tone deaf. If I'd received such a letter, I'd respond and let them know that, and[b] I would strongly consider donating elsewhere. [/b]I'm happy to donate whatever is needed by a food bank; it greatly helps when they're explicit about what they need. Need perishable items? Sure, just let me know. But there's a polite way to do this that doesn't risk alienating donors or would-be donors. [/quote]

To those of you saying things like this: shame on you. 
You are placing your feelings -which whatever, get over it- over the act of giving. Which is presumably why you participate in the first place? Or maybe not if you're that delicate over being told that your donations can't be used.

Big babies. [/quote]

Meh. There are so many places clamoring for donations. Too many actually, if one place can't get their act together and run smoothly there are many more out there. The poorly run and managed ones should go under and let the better ones fill the void. There isn't a lack of charities, there is a lack of donations and people should realize that.
Would be better if this was streamlined anyway rather than a patchwork of badly organized groups and incompetent people working at them.[/quote]
