I never gave to Red Cross. My father was in the Korean war and needed socks during the harsh winter there. The socks women knitted for the soldiers, the coffee, the donuts, all had to be bought by the soldiers. The red cross never gave those things to the soldiers, they sold them. I thought that was the biggest travesty!

Mingus, The Clinton Foundation/Haiti thing was actually a result of one man's greed. It involved many innocent people, including The Clintons and Alonzo Mourning.... Maybe, if y'all read a thing or two about the actual scam it would prove most enlightening. Besides, what does that have to do with PETA being full of it?😂

Government officials in Haiti STOLE that money from the people. We can raise as much money as we want here but we can't stop it from getting in the hands of their greedy corrupt leaders and far, far away from the citizens.

yup and the Clinton Foundation built none after getting hundreds of millions to help Haiti.

Don't half the time their not not homeless My wife just went through the same thing there were a group of them in a parking lot and asking for money and then Poche my wife and I asked my wife said I'll buy you something but I won't give you money and he looked at her with Shane and said I'd rather have your money

Everyone who wants your money, just wants your money: https://www.aol.com/article/news/2017/06/15/car-dealership-says-panhandler-rejected-job-offer/22361398/

Try TwoCentsOfHope. Don't know how they're doing today but several years ago, my dad was part of a chapter in his state. They did 0 marketing and merely placed coin collection boxes at local stores and collected monthly and used the money to build schools in India and other countries. At one point, they also built a few girls bathrooms I believe because they realized many girls from poor areas were dropping out of school because they didn't have bathrooms. The point of spending NO money on marketing is so that they spend ALL of it on charity rather than 70% on b******t like SO many organizations do!

A friend of mine and her family lost their home to a fire. The American Red Cross provided them with some new clothing for a night, and a $1500 Wal-Mart gift card. After 6 months she was sent a bill from Red Cross totalling $2000, to cover the emergency clothing for 4 and the gift card. Keep in mind the gift card was donated from Wal-Mart...

If any of you are looking to give to something, please consider giving toy daughter's charity, Blankets of Hope by Maleah and Friends!! She started her charity 2 years ago, where we make blankets for homeless people! So far, we have made 185 blankets!!! You can donate $$ OR supplies. If you are interested, please check out her page on Facebook. Thanks so much!!!

What if they're acting to look homeless so that they can get easy money? There are people who do that, you know.

Sally Brite - Please don't ever give people who approach you on the streets cash. It's okay to give food, clothing, hotel vouchers, and bus cards but when you give cash you might be supporting an addiction, or giving to a scam artist who is on the streets because preying off the charity of others pays better than most non-skilled work, tax free. While helping them out doesn't seem that bad, it's a massive determent to the local community, health and human services, and programs for the truly needy.

Studa Baker - that is not true. That book is a crapload of lies. Don't be such a tool. Get off the RWNJ websites and do yourself a favor.

That's because most of the money earmarked for Haiti went to Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation. Watch Clinton Cash to see.

"homeless hungry"..? LOL uhh you mean the heroin addicts??

That's pretty dumb. Instead, do your research on the charities you want to support and make sure they use the money well. It's great to adopt an animal, but that is one animal. A small donation to your local shelter can help many animals. You can do both.

Damn it. Replied to wrong person!

And this makes them not hungry?

Or just stop donating money I think all the taxes we are forced to pay should cover some of this b******t.

She wrote a book, and in it she states she got to work early to KILL the animals, ain't not soundin' helpin' me, no sirree.

Silly Panda apologizes for the double post.

Apologies for all the duplicate posts! I wish I knew how that happened.

BoredPanda can you delete all these extra comments? I didn’t mean for it to appear in response to everyone.

I meant to post this only once!

Yes Joseph but your local Humane Societys are not affiliated with the HSUS, so please give to your local shelters! They desperately need your help!

No, the Humane Society is being hit with Big Ag PR firms that want to kill the charity because they fight for legislative reform. Look into where the information comes from that says the Humane Society is bad. It's all from 2 PR firms that have made up fake organizations to smear the HS. It was fake news before fake news became a thing. Again, do some research, look at who bankrolls these things. HS is instrumental in helping rescue dogs from puppy mills and abuse situations. They do good.
