How awesome of you to start this thread, Captain! I totally agree that charity starts at home. Oddly enough I was thinking along those same lines. How about our troops in Iraq? Even if you are not for the war (which I am not,) those are our very own there. They do need things like razors, personal fans, etc. there are several stores that have drop off centers. You can buy stuff at that store and drop it in the chute. Not difficult. Also, if you see that guy in the street, all raggy looking, why not bring him a Big Mac or something? :p
