We Americans and Canadians are among the most charitable people in the world. Whenever there is a disaster we can be counted on to be there with assistance, both material and financial. Unfortunately, the scam artists are aware of this and take advantage of it in the aftermath. My Team has 34 years experience in Woodbridge, Dumfries, Manassas, Bristow, Gainesville, Haymarket Prince William County ”Experience Isn’t Expensive – It’s PRICELESS”
This is the time of the year when we are especially vulnerable since we look for opportunities to provide assistance.
Before you give to any unfamiliar charity consider visiting
You can search for charities
We make an effort to maximize the effectiveness of the time we give to help others - we should think no less wisely about our financial giving.
Karen, thank you for sharing this link. It's unfortunate but very true that during a time when people are most willing to give there are some that will take advantage of their good will. I like to stick with our community organizations for the most part because I already know the people who are involved.
Karen, thanks for this great link and there is some good info there. I will be forwarding the link to friends and family.
Silvia Of course, you and I participate beyond our community with our Rotary association
Karen, isn't it a shame that you have to worry about being scammed when you're trying to give! What's the world coming to.
Connie I believe it is already there - we need to take it back with stricter enforcement of criminal laws
Karen thanks for these timely tips, unfortunately this time of year brings out the wolves in sheep's clothing.
