Two days ago I received a packet from this organization with the following on the front address page:
HERE'S THE OFFICIAL VOLUNTEER KIT YOU REQUESTED!
I did not request a volunteer kit nor have I talked to them about one, ever, as far as I know. I think there is a similar charity in Wash DC I had contact with some time ago, but it called itself Breast Cancer Research or the like and I opted out in writing.
In any case this type of mailing, unsolicited and across state lines must constitute some sort of violation - or many.
Can't say it's fraud, but it comes close.

I have had no experience with them except for this unsolicited and frankly brash mailing.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Stop this type of mailing immediately.
