I want to do that. Staying home this Black Friday. There is nothing if importance that I need and PA’s COVID numbers are scary.

The DU link Omaha Steve set up (above, at the end of the OP) lets DUers specify how we want our donation divvied up. Lots of “personal liberty.”

Why aren't all these millionaires and billionaires helping out their local Food Banks? Why do we have to leave it to small donors?

But yeah, send some money to GA too.

In years past I’ve gone to Costco and bought a couple hundred dollars worth of food and dropped it off at one of the organized homeless camps in my neighborhood. Didn’t want to risk it this year so donated $200 to the local food bank.

I’ve seen very little about Black Friday. That seems to be the real super spreader event if people from all over interact in malls.
