donation buckets

OkieAnon · 08-15-2003, 11:01 AM

just curious about a couple of things;

anybody else in Branson this last weekend? what did you think about the guys with the buckets looking for donations >something about feed homeless children< located at the stoplight? seemed kind of dangerous to me, the way they were jumping in and out of traffic, good way for someone to get hurt or cause a wreck.

is this common on weekends? noticed they were gone after a couple of days, just wondered if they got ran out or moved on.

just curious because a group that had the same name was in a town close to me, the local paper there did some investigating and couldn't come up with any info on this group.

Never heard of that organization. We just kept our window up and ignored them. I think there has to be a better way for a legal organization to get funds.

Yesterday a group was here in the metro area and one of the busiest intersections in town....big white paint buckets dodging in and outta traffic....collecting for the homeless. I wonder if it is a scam and moving from area to area. I guess I'm a hard sell when it comes to that type of thing.... I always give to a legit known company.
