[QUOTE="proups, post: 58045"] First, I think some of you need to go to the United Way website and learn what they actually do. UPS chooses the United Way due to it's overall community impact, and the low overhead. The 12%-18% mentioned in an earlier post was right on the mark - and that is low overhead for a charity. Choosing not to contribute, as has been posted earlier, because you are mad at UPS is stupid. You hurt people that need your help. Choosing to contribute, though not through UPS, is your right. I personally don't agree with it, since I want the company to be seen by the public as a company that cares about the communities that it serves. Thinking the United Way is bad because they could not help in certain situations is wrong. They have a mission statement just like every other charity, and certain things don't meet their mission. Other charities can help with things the United Way can't. You just have to find them. How many of you could tell a customer what to do if that customer wanted to ship ocean freight through UPS? Would you have to get someone else from UPS involved - like a BD person? I give to the United Way through UPS each year - and everyone involved appreciated it. [/QUOTE]
