Federal complaint the aclu says the same thing that some of delawares best performing Charter Schools are basically hand picking higher performing students generally wealthier and whiter they say while discouraging other families who cant afford extra fees or providing their kids a ride to the school.

Airy neighborhood of philadelphia and doug you found some Reputable Charities are actually selling their good name to countries trying to make a profit . Reporter exactly. These are very tough times for charities. Goodwill industries is warning that a growing number of them are starting to partner with for Profit Companies and what that may mean the clothes donate may not be going to where you think they are going. Everything thats dropped off at Goodwill Industries goes straight into their local Thrift Stores according to the charity. Its on the job Training Programs for people with disabilities. Reporter but they are seeing an alarming trend of ge he in rick clothing donation binns showing up every where. Textiles recycle cigarette a huge business right now. Everything is packed in 1,000 bales, shipped overseas. Reporter donors think the clothes they give are going to the needy in their community. But some are renting their names for a small amount of money. Any time you have a for profit middle man involved in the donation process they are the ones who benefit in the end. It makes me feel sad. I feel sad people would take advantage like that. Theres a lot of people that need it. Reporter goodwill says the for profit boxes take clothing away from the people who need it and donors dont get a receipt for a tax deduction. Watchdogs like charity navigator. Org say people should call the phone number on these boxes and research the charity to see just how much money they actually get. You can tell if its enough and if not look at their tax forms really quick and just make a good assessment. Reporter one other recommendation from charitynavigator. Org is to take all of those clothes you might have donated, hold a garage sale yourself, take the cash from that and give it directly to your charity. Live in mt. Airy, im doug shimell, nbc 10 news.
