Letter: Those who don’t need stimulus money should donate it

Posted

To the editor:

The president has signed the bill sending $600 to most citizens. And there are many of us who don't NEED this money. But there are also many who are jobless, homeless and struggling to pay the rent and feed their families. 

I would like to suggest that those who can, donate this money to one of the many services that provide help to those in need.

I would also suggest to the editor that this paper publish a list of such local services with their mailing address, so that it would be easy for the generous to make their donations.
