Donations to Fire and Police - NH Lakes Region

Those who have published telephone numbers probably get these telephone calls.
Donate to the local police department.
Donate to the local fire department.
Donate to the local chiefs of police.
And veterans and on and on.

How many fall for this?
I ask if I am speaking with an actual police/firefighter. No.
I ask what state call is coming from. Not New Hampshire.
I ask how much of my donation goes to the for profit solicitation company.

What I have found out is that 85% of all donations go to the for profit solicitation company and only 15% goes to the police/firefighters.

Now, who in their right mind makes such a donation?
