Re: [SgFreecycle] salvation army commercialised?

 

Hi Khoon,


It's very common with all VWO it non profit organisation. These 3rd party are usually license recycling companies and they do yellow ribbon projects. It's in fact helping both parties 😊I have been in social seniors for years and it's a Common practice.

hi Khoon.

Here is my friend's reply...

My take is that due to difficulty in getting employees to do manual work,  carrying and sorting.  Also the rise in cost of maintaining and owning transport (trucks)
It may be more practical to outsource the collection and sorting to 3rd party. 

"Cut from it" maybe charges for service rendered.

Hi

Can someone tell me if this is true.

I was told salvation army now outsources its donated items collection n sorting and thrift shop to 3rd party, they get a cut from it, started the last few years.

My intended donations to salvation army was for their use and profit, not 3rd party
