It is important that we learn to say no - in this kind of situations and others, too. No explanation is necessary, giving one makes it sound like you think you should donate - or do whatever you are saying no to.

Tell them the truth. Then they will know you contribute to other charities and won't bother you.

Just let them know you have made all your donations for the year. Simple.

It seems I can't leave the grocery store without people hanging in front asking for donations. Boy Scouts, Girls scouts, school projects & firemen so instead of buying their expensive cookies, popcorn etc... I say I can give you $3 for your cause and they accept it & very happy. I don't need the items they sell but I do like to give to the local projects & help my community.

 

I have done this for quite some time ... all those little Girl Scouts wanting to sell me cookies.  Ha!   I tell them I don't want any cookies but will make a donation.   They are happy and so is my waistline.
