If the "donation" box isn't owned by a genuine charity, like Disabled Veterans, Goodwill, etc, it's fake. The unmarked & unknown owner boxes just collect goods which are then sold for pure profit for the owners. A perfect scam.

It's a shame these fake charity boxes exist because every item deposited means one less item a real charity could use.
