At the grocery store checkout…

At the pet store…

A table outside your pharmacy…

Somebody waving and holding a sign on a street corner…

Neighbor collecting donations…

At the cash register in almost every store you visit…

We are good people. We like to give. But the unexpected ask, everywhere we go is getting old. And that money is probably not going where we think it is going. It’s possible some of that money is going into politics. Yikes!

Giving is so meaningful and important, but let’s start saying no, to random asks, and let’s start reaching out to the people and places we want to donate to.

And maybe a little research to make sure it’s going to the people and places that really need the help.
