I disagree. There are some(few) charities that do not have a large corporate structure.

I would suggest you investigate St Jude’s Hospital where children go for cancer treatments for free.

I also give to a couple local charities here in NH. One is run by two nuns that operate a home for women and their children. The nuns get paid about $18K each/year.

I also give to the local SHARE location. However, I do not give money. I bring them food I buy at the grocery store.

I do agree with you about most of the nationally advertising charities. Especially the Red Cross and United Way.

I notice that a number of the small towns around here have facebook pages that people can giveaway items that formerly went to goodwill or salvation army.

With all the drama and giving to illegals and homeless it seems like folks are looking to rehome items with neighbors and townies. People are done.
