[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see this every year at the Salvation Army Angel Tree Distribution.  There I am with my family looking hot and disheveled, dragging out bags of new selected gifts and bicycles to mom who have been to the beauty salon that morning, have decorated fingernails two inches long, makeup, tight new clothes, boots, new purses and better iphones than I use.  In fact they don't even put down the phone to bother to thank us - the donors to the salvation army - nor do they even respond when I wish them a "Merry Christmas".  Most, if they check their backs, complain that the microwaved they asked for it is not in there.  I'm done with the attitude of entitlement.  ANd yes all of these moms are perfectly capable of working from what I can observe.[/quote]

This is why I stopped contributing to charities in this area. Most of those toys and gifts are re-sold for things the mothers want because the children receive so much through other sources.   Through the Salvation Army I found  other charities in less affluent areas where the gifts stay with the children.  I am also involved with a local charity which allows me to earmark donations for things like medicine rather than rent or food.  Recipients charity shop and know how to get food first, then payment of utility bills, followed by rent, school supplies and weekend food backpacks and last medicine. I earmark the money for medicine because the pharmacies are paid directly   Donations are also more likely to go to people who are not covered by government or charity programs.
