My wife wants me to ask this question...

[Fueling Around]

Wife and I don't do the Christmas Hanukkah gift BS. Children get a big gift check because their birthdays are in the vicinity.

Me and the wife contact our local PD, they set us up with a family in need, buy some small gifts for all, cook a full meal that will feed most for a week, its all no contact between us and them, the officer picks up and delivers. The thank you notes these families get to us via the PD are hart warming to say the least.

I'll have to look into this method.
I have a hard time donating to local food banks. Most of the users drive pretty nice vehicles.
Food bank employees have a 50/50 rule. 50% that use don't deserve. 50% that deserve don't use.

If you can get in contact with a school resource officer, or what ever they are considered in your area, they will know the ones in need that are trying and actually need the help. That has been our experience.

HI! Donations status. / Food stamps ....
back in the day here @ the NJ shore, remember 40 yrs ago.
Unfortunately I was on unemployment benefits due to the brutal winter months.
I am leaving the UMPLOY Office, a nice Escalade pulls up, they pile out and enters the office!
Thinking ? What the F ?
I was told by the locals they were the Hotel/ Motel owners elites !? , the entire family !
Collecting benefits!?
Therefore: I will not donate to any Organization ,except for a known local group.
Too Much fraud.
Last note: Washington is not a Stale mate, its who can lie and cheat the most ,as previously posted. . I can say more?
Its not political, Its economical : Feeding my family.

Coal?
Kinda funny !
We had a coal electric plant close, that helps to keep local RE Taxes down.
It was closed and offered to convert to Natural gas.
Plant is now dissembled , yet we see wires from who knows where from kingdom come ?
Yet the great state of CA, sells heaters to warm the universe?
Patio heaters? NOT!
Stop the BS!
