 I saw a couple of girls yesterday in the median with a sign that they made.All it said was donations to the fine arts.They had written it on a posterboard.They had jars to collect money from cars stopped at the red light.What do you think of this?Would you give to them?Do you think they were trustworthy?

I wouldn't have given to them.  But then again I only give my spare change to like Salvation Army and places like that who help others.

I support organizations by way of fundraising. When I see the kids out there I ask for a parent or adults phone number. I call them with some fundraising ideas, and hope they take heed. Its too dangerous to have those kids out there like that

We usually only give money to organizations we know are legit.  When we see people out asking for money(not like those girls but homeless people) we try to give food instead.
