What factors do you consider when you’re thinking about giving things away to family members, friends, neighbors, or other people you know?
If they will appreciate it, use it and know I gave thought in giving it to them. If they are a bit of a free loader and one who takes but not gives as well.
What factors do you consider when you’re thinking about donating items to a charity, shelter, or unknown recipient?
If they will have a good cuase, and place where items will be sold for that worthy cause. If they operate a good, clean shop and business, if they give receipts fot taxes. if they get fussy as in - "we are only taking items for __" fill in the blanks.
I had in shop reject clothing because " we are only taking items for our spring collection'. I kid you not.
