My Goodness :
Advice on how to make the world better.
Charity Muggers
I avoid street canvassers for do-gooding organizations. Does that make me a jerk?
(Continued from Page 1)
As long as street fundraising enrolls new donors and makes money, charities will continue to do it. So if you don't like it, don't give. As long as you aren't rude, I see no reason why you should feel bad about avoiding them.
Do you have a real-life do-gooding dilemma? Please send it to ask.my.goodness@gmail.com, and Patty and Sandy will try to answer it.
