Holiday Donation Scams -Watch Out

This time of year my mail box is full of mail asking for donations.
 
Food pantries seem to be big this year among the charity solicitations.
One recent direct mailer said that local businesses have come through as well as the government has increased its subsidies, HOWEVER, they still need cash donations.
Seems a little suspicious to me.
Now I am not saying any of this is not true.
But I am saying to be aware as this time of year brings a lot of these requests into our homes.
As a senior we often are taken in because we want to give back .
This site has some tips to watch for holiday donation scams. So check the web and check out the source before opening your check book.
