In
recent years I've been hearing a lot of negative information about
charities – things like fraud, embezzlement, misspending,
diversion of donations, big shots staying at penthouse suites
and driving fancy cars. WHY SHOULD I GIVE TO THE SOUPMOBILE?
If you have doubts about the SoupMobile, please do not give to
us.
However, let
me tell you a few things about the SoupMobile that may ease your
mind. We are an open book. Anyone, and I mean ANYONE, can look
at our books. Or maybe you would like to spend a day with us as
we use the SoupMobile to deliver food to the homeless and hungry.
Yes, come ride with us. Get an up close and personal look. We
have nothing to hide.
We
know the SoupMobile needs ongoing financial support to feed the
homeless year round. Do you accept any other types of donations?
Yes indeed! The SoupMobile gratefully accepts donations
of food, clothing, and toiletries.
Are
my contributions tax deductible?
Absolutely! The I.R.S. has approved the SoupMobile as a non-profit
organization and has given it tax-exempt status.
