Has anyone seen any Salvation Army bell ringers this year? I have not.

No, I haven't but that is no doubt, because I get to the stores way before they do. The Salvation Army is my favorite charity and I am delighted to contribute to them.
My fam and I don't give charity to groups. There's a significant population of homeless here and we prefer putting donations right in their hands. Sure, they may misuse it, but what gives another pleasure is up to them. Rather not have a majority of my charity going to the group or as was the case in Japan after the tsunami, going to whaling efforts instead of tsunami victims.
It's a commandment to be charitable. But much more rewarding putting your charity right into someone's hand be it cash, an extra sandwich from somewhere, or an old warm coat. There's no accountability for where you money actually goes if you give it some big company and some of your donation always goes to pay people's salary. It's not a scam but definitely not very efficient. To see a breakdown of a charity's costs and how much of each dollar actually goes to who or whatever use a charity watchdog site like:

Also, for the animal lovers out there, quit donating to the ASPCA. They actually euthanize more animals than they save. Donate instead to any no-kill shelter group.
