Dear Editor,
I’m wondering how many of you are as frustrated as I am with many organizations wanting donations.
I’ve tried several of them – including communities “ravaged by floods.” They do not respond to written letters and/or phone calls. If they do and a date and time is set, they do not come or call. In fact, one told me, “We do not want anything old as nobody wants old things and we couldn’t even give it away.” My conclusion is they only want cash so it can be slipped into a pocket.
I’ve even tried putting things on the boulevard for free – nothing.
If I want the city to pick up items, it’s an additional change and done by appointment only.
The way I feel about it all I’d like a garbage truck for a day to crush everything so no one can go through it and take what they want. Frustrating – Frustrating – Frustrating
