Would $5.00 a paycheck really hurt you?
Well when maybe 10-15% of that 5 bucks actually goes to charity then it doesn't really matter if it hurts or not. The CEO of United Way makes over a million a year. That in itself is a problem. Perishable donations to food kitchens usually come from supermarkets, grocers, and restaurants and are tax deductible.
