Charity Christmas Cards

[ChristmasStar]

I love sending charity Christmas cards but a BBC article said that some shops only give 6% of the cover price to the charity! Shame on them.

I read the BBC article myself, i think there are some that give more though.......id expect at least 50% to go to Charity.

Good news is that I've found a site which gives 75% of the card price to charity. Much better!

Thanks friend!! Nice to be back, eh?

That's a sad statistic considering many big corporate companies send charity cards.

A lot of the cards should have some kind of mark or sticker on them that says 'x' % of this cost goes toward -insert charity- I've bought charity Christmas cards a number of times, also I have bought cards made by handicapped and the money goes to the handicapped centers..

.. a little research and you'll find deserving ones but let that be a lesson not to buy the first one you grab.
