Perhaps it's time to look at a financial statement put out by Value
Village. If they are a NPO, then those records ARE public. Full
disclosure.

Ya, i buy a few things there (books that i'm looking for often appear
there).

I give to the local street ministry trying to help the homeless. To
women's shelters where these women & children would be homeless without
said shelter, and, of course, the ER dept........... you would not
believe how many clothes they need to offer folks to be attired to go
home (they may not match, but a top is a top and pants are pants!)
(please add some new in the wrap undies and socks!)
