I do local charity. There are a few churches of various denominations and they all have drives for kids, I try and get a few gifts for each of them. I used to volunteer at the Food Pantry and make pies for the holidays, and drive the dinners around. I find I dont have time or energy, so I write a check to them. I like to donate for Christmas craft sets and art supplies, hot wheel and matchbox cars. The kids have more hats and mittens than they know what to do with. People are very generous in my community. It's just me being ornery, but I do not trust those mega churches, so many of them are wealthy, let them give from their own coffers, I say.
Apologies for my late response, been busy. I agree, I don’t trust big or small churches. We are living in the times of the corporate church. It’s more about money and less about the people & God. I don’t think I’ve given to a large charity. Before I knew about the CEO’s of these charities collecting a huge paycheck I didn’t trust them and that was thirty years ago. Probably much worse now. Not to mention the child trafficking associated with many. When we first got married my husband was working his first good job. They influenced the employees to give to united way in their paycheck deductions. Didn’t last long because we both questioned (to ourselves) where the money was going. Back then sometimes just getting bread and milk was a luxury and those companies brainwashing people to donate. You have been very busy and giving of yourself. That’s so commendable.
