Re: United Homeless Organization a SHAM!!!

I don't want to say I HATE them..but they set up camp right outside our office.

I have negative feelings for them, how about that.

They are setup right next to the lady handing out Odd Job flyers and just past the guy who passes out flyers for haircuts.. both REAL jobs and these folks just sit and make a pitch for 'a dime, a penny, a nickel' BAH

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy they got caught in their nasty lies.

Re: United Homeless Organization a SHAM!!!

you'd be surprised how little charities give back...

the United Way and the Red Cross are notorious for this...they only give 20% back of what is donated...

this is a real problema nd during the California fires the Red Cross was pleading with people to give and they promised 100% would go to the victims...but no one seems to trust them...

Re: United Homeless Organization a SHAM!!!

Just ticks me off they get to steal money like that from people who have the true desire to help people..

Easy prey..
so sad.

I'll bet you in a month (or less) no one will remember that article and they'll be in business again!

Re: United Homeless Organization a SHAM!!!

They're very agressive people....no wonder! They get so in your face and my response is 'I'm a professional fundraiser, I raised money for the homeless for a year and a half....' But that's apparently not an acceptable response.
