All of these companie's are very charitable indeed, But I wonder where all of that money go's, This article doe's not make mention of the charitie's to whom they donate so much money. it also doe's not mention how to access said funds, I see so many homeless and hungry people everyday and i've also been in that same situation where I did'nt know where my next meal would come from or where i would lay my head for the night. With so much giving in the world, It almost seems insane that there are still people on this planet, Men, women, and children and even entire familie's who go hungry every day and night. Is it really charity if the down trodden doesn't have access to these funds? I always thought charity was for the helpless and homeless, but I guesse thats what the wel-fare office is here for.
