We collected for the Red Cross at the office today, but I was wondering if the SA had a presence there. My father always said he would only support the SA, because they never turned ANYone away and their help was there no matter what. They didn't charge the recipients either. So, I've always been a SA girl. I rarely donate to any other, except when I donate books. They don't take them and I had a whole library to dispose of when my mother died. St. Vincent DePaul Society took them and made good use of them.

I guess I'll write another check to them. If we all chip in what we can, I think we can make it go a long way. Making it stay that way is another story for another day.

I’m not sure I understand your question. A presence where?

If you mean a presence in Haiti, the answer is yes.

I’m glad to hear St Vincent DePaul takes books. We always seem to have extras. I can donate paperbacks to hospitals, but there’s a limit! I’ve tried selling some on Amazon, but I’m impatient about storing things once I’ve decided I don’t need them. We already have too much stuff - everywhere!
