Every single group in the area is criticized by one faction or another so I tend to go with convenience and how they are within my community. Sometimes it’s Goodwill (yeah, yeah, but they have good local programs training special needs people for employment). Sometimes the local churches get my donations for distribution in the community (oh no! Not the churches! Religion is evil!) and sometimes I donate to local businesses that have coat drives. Forgive my attitude, but whenever I have discussed such things I tend to hear why I shouldn’t donate to anyone.
