BTW: I contribute to The United Way weekly.

As most of what the united way receives goes towards executive salaries and corporate expenses I keep my donations going to local charities with Volunteers running the show.

Don’t you just love the ones from the ASPCA and the Humane Society of the US?

F(orget) them. We support the local shelter that rescued Lucy Furr for us.

Yeah, along with:

1-877- kars for kids!

I support my local shelters directly, or I take strays in as they show up and I have the space. Every single pet I've had save two has come to me that way.

All my critters were rescues. I'd like another one but I'm concerned about that for the short term.

A couple of street cats over the years adopted me, the rest came from local shelters.

A very long time ago, I worked for a company that claimed to have 100% participation in The United Way, I was new on the job and replied to a co-worker, "I don't know how they can make that claim, I didn't contribute." My co-worker says to me, "You did, you just did not realize that it was coming out of your next pay raise."

I can direct which agency my employer sends my donations to.

The best nationwide "non-profit" agency to contribute to is, The Salvation Army, their administrative take is smallest of them all; the worst is, "Goodwill".

Yeah, this one too, I hope that the Polar Bear "Sans Station" before the ice chunk melts in the Caribbean Sea.

Don't get me wrong, I have a heart but, just like there is a "V" chip to flag violent content, there should be a flag for heart-tuggers.

I support my local shelter every time I place an order on Amazon. All three of my current doggies were either on the way to a shelter or gotten from the local shelter. Our old Lab who passed last year showed up on our doorstep when he was a pup that could be held in one hand. He was 100 lbs when he passed and not overweight.

We're lucky to be close to the Appalachian Great Pyrenees Rescue Group (https://agprescue.org/). They have a wonderful location in the Richmond National Battlefield Park -- Fort Harrison, with several acres for the rescue group and a large kennel for boarding, which funds the rescue group.

My wife worked there until recently, and we both volunteer whenever we can. I do a lot of photography for the organization, especially for their annual fundraiser they call Pyre Fest.

Penny, my avatar, is half Golden Retriever, half Great Pyrenees, and we got her from AGPR. She was in a litter that was rescued in West Virginia.

When I had my whole house emergency generator installed, I donated my 15 KW Generac portable (with a whopping 10 hours running time on it) to this group.

I've always preferred supporting local non-profits.

i worked in the IT department of a local hospital for a year: it’s where I met the Boss.

They heavily supported the United Way. We were “encouraged” to donate, but it wasn’t mandatory. Officially.

I declined. Got called into my supervisor’s office to explain myself. Then her boss had a meeting with me. Then HIS boss, a Sr. Veep. I got strong-armed, all but ordered to “donate” the minimum of $1 per pay. Seems I was the sole holdout from keeping the IT group from being 100%.

i didn’t cave in.

i also got poor performance reviews from that point on. Seems I wasn’t a “team player” by refusing to be blackmailed.

When I was fired, this was also one of the reasons stated.

That's what I do. I support local (not necessarily to my current location) rescues. Donations have a larger impact.
