    I give $2 to the fold bank every time I shop at the grocery store. I know how it feels to be hungry. I mean actually hungry.

    If the thousand people who showed up that day also gave $2, that would amount to so much more.

    Are you telling me it’s more important to resent the grocery store for making money than it is to feed the hungry?

      What happens down here:

      Youe donation goes to Freddies Fart Fund, which is not a registered charity (so you can’t claim it as a deduction) but a sub company of Freddy Fishmongers

      Freddy Fishmongers then donates to a registered charity and claims the deduction…after their Fart Fund takes its cut to cover processing and administration of course…

      Donations straight to a charity do a lot of good. That’s not what these guys are doing.
