Fill the Boot

I personally get pissed ate panhandlers. It is a problem in Houston. So bad so, that just today I stopped to fill up and the screen on the pump read "stop supporting panhandlers. Don't give them money. Let's clean up Houston.". That said, I give to several charities. Even ones that house the homeless and soup kitchens too. I pick and choose my charities wisely. I donate. Volunteer firefighters could hold a community fundraiser and prolly come out better. As far as homeless vets go, I think it is a crying shame that any vet is on the street. They served their country and yet their country let them slip thru the cracks. Hand-outs abound for some pretty sorry class of people but not our vets? Sad!!!

nice, change their gimmick made me laugh

What charity were they collecting for? Our local firefighers use a heavy hand when it comes to their fundraising. They go house to house and tell you that "we see you must have forgotten to send back your envelope". They won't tell you what the money is spent on, but it goes for their recreation fund, to keep them in beer and pretzels.
