I was reading about the Kansas City Secret Santa today and thought how much fun that would be. It made me start thinking what I would do if I had 40k to spare. So here are some questions.

1. If you had unlimited amounts of money, what type of Random Acts of Kindness would you do? At Christmas or otherwise.

2.

It was, quite literally, more than 15 years before I had the guts to try again. I'm very glad I did.

I do but I do not choose to name names on a public messageboard. I am sure you understand.

I doubt that every charitable organization does things exactly the same. I don't think the knowledgge of one - or even a handful of them - particular store can be applied to all of them everywhere.

It is an organization. I am sure it is run about the same everywhere. (for the record, I am not speaking of a store but the bins where they collect the clothes).

If

I wouldn't know about the stores as none are in my immediate area. I was talking about the clothes they take out of the bins and where they go and what they do to them.

I do know that whatever they pick up goes straight to the private company that turns them into rags. The drivers are paid by the load they drop off.
