The other day, solicitors for an organization called "Veterans in Need Foundation" had positioned themselves in front of Publix on 466. Seemed like a good cause, but when I checked, neither the Better Business Bureau nor the Charity Navigator websites (the two usual places to check out whether a charity is legitimate) had any information on the Foundation. So, when you drop cash in their bucket, it's impossible, without a lot of digging, to tell whether you are really donating to needy veterans or to the organizers and administrators of the Foundation.
