Charities

[azsnowman]

Do you support any charities? We try (when money allows) to support the Az. Faternal Order of Police and Firefighters. We donate our used (or sometimes new) clothing to St. Vincent De Pauls and we buy $20 worth of canned goods for a local soup kitchen a month, The Love Kitchen, a non denominational christian kitchen...they are serving OVER 300 meals a day, tis a sad world we live in nowadays.

I never donate $$ but I do donate canned goods, clothing, etc. I will NEVER donate to the faternal order of police charity. Most of what I do donate is to local charities to help families in my area. I also will not donate to anything overseas since only a small % of that money actually goes to where it supposed to help. Also, I think we have enough needy here in the US that we should help here at home first.

Through our work we volunteer alot of $$, printing, signs or banners, and man hours to MDA, American Cancer, Boys & Girls Clubs, and many local charities and schools.

I do not routinely although I should. After a disaster I always do though and around Xmas I donate either money or food.

I think I've donated twice, once for 911, and once for Katrina.

I try and support charities after examining the proportion that actually goes to helping individuals. Its my belief that governments and such are more likely to perpetuate dependency than actually helping people out of their situation. I hope charity and especially philanthropy by the rich experience an increase.

I do because I'm in law enforcement, I SEE what happens to a family when a friend, a comrade "walking the thin blue line" falls in the line of duty...they support the family with food, money for bills and gets them back on their feet, The 100 Club is a GREAT example of the "Brotherly Love" we all have for each other, after all, we put our lives on the line so OTHERS may live in peace
