Sad state of affairs in an area where novice tech workers are making 130K per year, every other car is a late model foreign car or a Tesla, do these people believe in philanthropy? The food banks should be stuffed to the gills, they should be turning away donations.

Feedback for 2nd Harvest Food Bank: I made a donation a couple of years ago. Starting the next month, I was inundated with solicitations for additional donations ... even though I expressly requested NOT to be contacted (via a hand-written note in with the check; unlike many charities, they didn't offer me that option on their form). I prefer to direct my donations to organizations who use the money to provide services, rather than spending it on marketing and solicitation campaigns trying to get me to give them yet more. Maybe it works for them overall, but I'm sure many people are like me in how they prefer to do their giving, so perhaps Second Harvest should re-think their development strategies. In the meantime, my philanthropy goes to other organizations.
