Don’t Need That $1,200 Stimulus Check? Here Are Places to Donate It.

Most Americans will be receiving $1200 checks and $500/child in next few weeks. To some families, this will be far from enough to pay the rent or mortgage and buy food. But to many others, the checks will be an unearned bonus. As a retiree who will not be losing any income and who will be spending less on gas, eating out, and other non-essentials, I plan to donate my share to the local homeless shelter that also runs a food bank.
