I'd treat it as a very good cause and if you get something back then happy days, but the money can make a huge huge difference to people.
it's funny you mentioning that,some bloke i know stated a charity shop and he paid very little in rent,no employee wages and he sold donated ex-argos gear he made a fortune because only a certain percentage has to go to charity,i am not sure of the percentage but i think it is around 20%

what a t**t he was.
