We are doing more research on this as we speak and I really appreciate your calling attention to the deficiencies of this organization. I was not aware of this and after reading the bollard post and am very disheartened by their work. We are doing more research on Planet Aid and will be updating this post shortly with more information and perspectives on their donation history and deficiencies. Thanks again.

They sell the clothes they get and only a small portion of it goes to people in need. The Better Business Bureau refuses to recognize the organization as a charity. I was pretty sad when I read this: http://www.thebollard.com/bollard/?p=5750 Also, recycling through Planet Aid takes donations out of Goodwill, Salvation Army, and other charities that do work locally.
