I grew up near Winston Salem and I remember the start of Goodwill. It was on University drive - close to the fairgrounds near Wake Forest U. They had disabled guys there. Lots of workers - each had a stall and they reconditioned/ repaired everything from lawn mowers , appliances, televisions, clocks, lamps, heaters, furniture. I remember my mother taking me to Goodwill once to get a wringer style washing machine, and she told me how all those people had jobs because of Goodwill. All the churches in that area of NC collected all manner of things to donate to goodwill . There was no used clothing store or a ceo making millions. The workers were paid out of the proceeds of the sales of their work. Everybody in Winston-Salem was proud of Goodwill- that started in our town. Not so today. At the same site there is a Goodwill used clothing store that on a busy day might have 4 employees
I really wish people would stop posting stupid chain information without a little checking first. I’m all for knowing about who to donate to, but these crap emails can really harm those charities that are being lied about.

I posted because I could! You want to give to an organization that has bad press of any kind, go for it! It’s not like I vouched for anyone or tried to change your mind! Read the first part, where it says cut and paste! That should have been your first clue! Other than that, FU, Xman!
A bit testy are you Easy? Don’t like being called an idiot, after you did the same to those who responded against your foolish post? Just because you can post it, doesn’t mean you need too.
It just so happens that I have donated over 300 hours of my time to the Red Cross each year for the past several years. I have seen how they operate first hand. I see crappy posts about them, I get defensive.
What you posted is false information which may lead people to donate elsewhere based on incorrect information. Not just the Red Cross either.
You saw something on a media site, assumed it was true (why would you post something you assume was false?), and posted it here, perpetuating bad information. Based on so many opinions on this site about not trusting the media, I’m surprised how often this happens.
Easy just admit he’s right. You got fooled by some click bait bs and shared it around starting the witch hunt of outrage. We don’t need you to post every scandal that gets forwarded to you by uncle jimmy or you saw in the ever expanding spam portion of websites.
