We had good people come to my office and I could give while on the clock.
When COVID calmed down I tried to find a good place, but they’re all shitty and the stuff went down hill due to nursing shortage.
Plus you have to usually go through a third party that makes money off it. And the shitty service is because they know people will donate anyways. Because I tried a couple, now I’m getting all types of spam calls, including an automated one that started out with a woman screaming “help, there’s been a car accident”.
Lots more people would donate if it wasn’t a terrible fucking system.
My coworker reached out and asked about being a donation center and they oblige. Your workplace probably just stopped working with them. We still do them regularly and never really stopped during covid.
I used to donate all the time pre-covid.

I know they suck. But the people who need it get it and that’s what’s important. The spam is aggravating though.
