We donate only to local charities here in our small town where we have faith that the donation is used locally. Nothing national or international. Good plan. Too many of the big national organizations have top heavy expenses and not much drips down to the actual need. We were members of a small church that did the same thing. We could not support a missionary or give to large national charities so everything we did was directed at a specific need in our community. We called it "playing in our own league." Operation BBQ Relief is a far cry from what it had been. I left them last year after seeing how thigs where playing out. They purchased 180ish acres on Lake of the Ozarks (price wise like lake austin) earlier this year. Sad to see it go this route. That's a shame. They as in the founder guy or the org? I think that is it on page 11 Land, Buildings, etc. https://obr-wp-bucket.s3.amazonaws....ploads/2022/05/17083910/PDC_OBR_2021.pdfGuys now taking salaries and shaping up like Wounded Warrior and other not-getting-my money charities. Keeping it local all the way then.
