  1. I cannot believe that they are now asking for toiletries. It really is a shame when a person cannot efford toiletries but they sure can efford talking on cells and Ipods. I ask what is their priorities, personal hygiene or communication skills.

  2. Well, wiseguy, if you don't want to donate, don't. It's not our place to judge what a person can afford. If there is a need, there is a need.

  3. @Wise Guy -- Inspiration Corporation is an extremely well run organization. Maybe you're unaware?

  4. There's two different firms that I know of that will give you a free cellphone if you're on foodstamps, SSI, etc. One gives 250 mins a month, the other 100. So that covers that base.

  5. I agree with Meg. Wise guy needs to read up on Inspiration Corporation.

    Perhaps the individuals Inspiration serves are not the same individuals you've observed...or any caricature there of.

  6. I work for H2O Plus and we have an extensive amenities program. I called the number listed to donate soap, shower gel, shampoo, lotion and conditioner but was told to leave a message. I hope they call me back.
