Make-A-Wish Foundation

DO NOT GIVE YOUR DONATIONS TO THIS PLACE.
THIS IS AN IRRESPONSIBLE AGENCY!!! They solicit donations and DO NOT COME PICK IT UP EVEN AFTER CONFIRMING SCHEDULE!!!
My parents received fliers from Make a Wish asking for donations such as household items, toys, etc. Since they were incidentally in midst of moving, they went through things and neatly packaged 10+ large bags of toys and clothing, and household items.
They called ahead to schedule a pickup and later also called to confirm and left messages. On the scheduled day (also written on the flyer), they set the items out on the curb during early morning waiting for pickup. Being senior folks themselves, they went through a lot of trouble and carried many bags of heavy items to the curb.
Yet the donation pickup NEVER CAME. NO CALL NO SHOW NADA. At the end of the day, they had to go out and drag everything back themselves. With intentions to help and make a difference, they were left disappointed, angry and with an injured back.
ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT BE SOLICITING FOR DONATIONS. THEY CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO PUT THE DONATIONS TO GOOD USE. WE WILL NOT BE SUPPORTING THIS CAUSE AGAIN.

13 Feb 2016. What a wonderful charity — an amazing group of good hearted folks who only want to grant wishes of chronically ill children. We are blessed to be part of the Make A Wish family.
Make A Wish has a strong network of donors, supporters, and volunteers. They are always ranked very highly on Guidestar, and have rigorous financial controls.
If you are looking for a joulyful, uplifting opportunity to make a positive difference in the life of a chronically ill child, call or volunteer today.
