United Way Donations

[bleedinbrown58]

Need the $104 bucks for the payment on the $1500 rims and tires on the ride in the parking lot.....

Shouldn't you be lubing up for a conference call soon?

They are out in a candy jar at my local Planned Parenthood for free.

Yes....aside from abortions...there is beneficial side to PP.

If $104 per year is a lot of money you have far bigger issues.

No, $104 is not much to me. Financially I'm in great shape but a lot of people who work part time at UPS are not. The people who just started UPS have nothing besides $10 an hour for the first year. No health benefits, no time off, and no pay raises. They're pretty much on the same level as fast food workers. I'm sure they will love to give away $104 a year.

I think everyone should get BJs at work.

It's not a lot of money...but I'd prefer it in my 401k than to give it away.

Some people like to give away other people's money.

Some of these kids have more "toys" than I do.

Not at all----I just think it is very hard for someone making $80-100K to justify making a $1 one time donation.

They also have the right to chose other charities to support.

I personally think all PTers should give at least $2/week and all FTers no less than $10/week.

I personally think it's NONE of your business what us grown adults choose to do with our money.

What if they donate to St. Jude or donate time at a soup kitchen instead of giving to United Way? United Way is far from the only charity.

How do you know they don't donate to a charity of their own choice?

You beat me to it! Dammit!! lol

This is true, but I would be willing to bet you that the vast majority who don't support UW do not support any other charity, whether monetarily or otherwise.

A donation is a voluntary paying of monies, so if I don't want to give one red cent to the United Gay, then that's MY business, not yours.

I donate blood twice a year...and donate food to Island harvest (food pantry). It doesn't HAVE to be money for it to matter.

And that's their CHOICE.

Exactly. A lot of charities appreciate the time spent more than they do the money.

Glad I don't care what you think.

Says the guy making $75,000+ a year.

Nah those were bought with grievance money.
