I doubt the local animal rescue thrift store and the disabled adults thrift store are pocketing the extra 50 cents for ill gotten gains.
Was it this guy?

Around 400 a month forced savings
Vacation fund basically
Presumably this would be for the Ronald McDonald houses that take in parents of children with extended stays in hospitals so they can stay near their children. In general I’m _extremely_ skeptical of corporate “charity” these days, but the Ronald McDonald houses are an absolute blessing for poor and middle-class parents dealing with financial stress at the same time they are coping with children with cancer or in an ICU after a terrible traffic accident, etc. I’ve had personal experience with the one in Indy on that basis and so I’d give this a rare 2-thumbs up.
For all the charity that I give on April 15th, I have yet to get a thank you...so why should I give even more?
If it’s the USO I always do. The USO was there for me when I needed them.
Office Space?
Only on my kolaches.
Never! I doubt their veracity. Additionally, I prefer to give to charities of my choosing. Usually the businesses that ask me to “round up” are woke.
