Charity begins at home, but not with a third party
We got a hang-up call tonight from TBS Productions. One web site I went to gives further insight into what such companines do.
Money is hard to come by for just about everyone these days. A lot of us are choosing our charitable contributions even more carefully than we did in the past. Also, these third party outfits interrupt dinner and home activities and I doubt most of the people who make the calls really know where the money goes. The callers may be getting a minimum-wage job, but how much good they're actually doing is questionable.
TBS Productions appears to be headquartered, if their web site is accurate, in Campbell, California, where my spouse and I lived for a number of years. The web site's About page is currently not found. Perhaps they're working on a proper description. That's fine. I hope they tell the whole story. Meanwhile, when I want to help police officers or firefighters send kids to the circus or to soccer camp, I'll call them up myself and offer help. I don't need some other business taking a cut of the hard-earned household money and preventing it from doing the most good it can do.
