Yikes! I somehow got on the mailing list for Father Flanagan's Boys Town. They send out packages with all kinds of junk, in an effort to guilt people into donating. I have not, and will not, donate to them. I have a long list of reputable ministries and organizations that I donate to and don't need random "suggestions" from my mailbox.

Wow, glad we aren’t the only ones suddenly receiving their fat envelopes of stuff asking for donations. Weird.
I always figure that any org that sends me “free” stuff as an inducement to give doesn’t need my money anyway,but now this is weird and I want to toss the “free” stuff they sent. 🤮🤮🤮
I just got something this last week from them trying to 'guilt' you into donating. Had pens, calendar, planner, Christmas cards and a heartfelt letter from one of their (victims?) residents. Needless to say I skipped any donation. Way to over the top and now this story. Geez.
So glad I read this today, have been pondering the receipt of that package and having grown up in Omaha thought perhaps it was related…..so evil, I used to love Boys Town night at the roller rink.

I also got the fat envelope from Boys Town. It was very bizarre since I did read the book about the cover up this year. Very creepy.

Back in the 1960s, my parents got such mailings. FFBT has been workin' the scam for decades, it seems.
Holy Moses! The info made its way to the trash!
I donate 5 bucks to groups I disagree with and wish they would go broke.
Don't like to bring this up but the only donations that I made in 2022 were multipliers on C&C. 😬
