No Kid Hungry

Very sketchy. I've asked for donation receipts for clients and they never send it. I don't have this problem with any other charity. I've had my clients stop donating to them for this reason.

Very sketchy process of engaging potential donors in the parking lot of a local supermarket. A man approached me from a table outside the supermarket asking me to donate to No Kid Hungry. I wanted to donate cash, but was told a minimum donation was $30. I proceeded to provide my credit card. The man asking for a donation was talking very fast and I began to get worried because I knew he was going somewhere with this. Sure enough, AFTER running my credit card and taking my personal information including birth date and address ("for the IRS"), he told me the actual donation he would accept was $30 A MONTH because, you know, hunger is ongoing. When I declined to commit to a continuing donation and asked why he did not tell me that from the start - he said (honestly)... "Wouldn't you have just walked away?". I asked to terminate my donation, and he said "I never took your security code (CVV) so you didn't make a donation". We had some words and he lectured me about charity and my limited understanding. I feel very stupid for giving them personal information. Please don't fall for this yourself... this is non profit malfeasance and scam fundraising.

Be wary of this The fine print tells you that they only do donations that are recurring. I told them that I was willing to make a one time donation of $30. The fellow I was working with seemed like a very decent person and told me that while I would be committing over the phone to recurring donations. I could just tell them before the next time I was charged on my credit card for the $30 I could just cancel And that I would get an email letting me know I was about to be charged and I could cancel before I was charged. That email never came and I ended up being charged the second time. So I had to call them up and cancel. Crooks, pure and simple.

These people SUCK. I’m convinced it’s a scam. I got hassled by two reps outside of a store and signed up. They promised I’d get an email the following day with my log in information so I can change the amount I choose donate or just get general information. Email never came, 4 months later… I’ve called every day and nobody answers the phone. Can’t log in to make changes to the account because ive never gotten the follow up email. They’d taken hundreds of dollars from me since I’ve signed up and there’s nothing I can do about it. I even tried ordering a new card and they still have found a way to charge that card too. I can’t even find any reasonable source to see exactly where this money is going. They are fraudulent

I am suspicious that this is not an honest charity. I have given well over $1000 dollars through monthly donations since the pandemic started. Last year, they did not send me any documentation of my donations, and have ignored my request for documentation (for taxes). When I tried to decrease / stop my monthly donations, I had to wait on hold forever to speak with someone who ultimately said she cannot help but she will take my phone number and have someone call me back. Months have passed and nobody has called me back. I called today and requested documentation again. I'll edit this if I receive it. Otherwise I will ask my credit card company to block them from billing my account and choose a more trustworthy charity.

For the last two weeks I’ve been mentally and emotionally stressed and tired due to a family member dying. I just got off work and went to UPS off Rockbridge. As I was entering, a tall African American man approached me and I politely declined. He proceeded to approach me again when I was leaving. I expressed I was tired and trying to go home. I received the information to donate and he told me “Wiell if you’re tired, you need to go home and go to sleep. We don’t need your donation.” I Replied to him that am trying to go homel and. That he should rbe aware of people feeling and notice that they aren’t interested. I was so upset with the way way he made me feel because my tiredness was not just physical it was emotional because I’m loosing a dear loved one. I was actually going to donate but this behavior was not warranted. I called the company but it was after hours. I will call again. There was a young lady there and it seemed that she understood me.that young man is not a good representation of any company and he should be dismissed !!!!!

Only 68.8% of donations go toward the mission. Check out salaries of top 5 "executives ". Approximately$1.6 Million!. This "charity " is a disgrace. The Shores family alone is raking in $683,000. Is this where you want your donations to go? ( source Charity Navigator)

As of November 2021 Charity Navigator gives this charity 3 stars and 88.29% is used to feed kids. It makes absolutely no sense that in this so called "greatest country in the world" these kinds of charities are even needed!!! But until we can get our act together I will glady donate what I can.
