“There should be some sort of recompense like tax breaks.” — Shane

  1. Alfred Chew Says:

    Why not set up a questionaire. There is a need to consider those who want to do it solely for charity!

  2. Steven Lewis Says:

    Of course anyone who didn’t want a tax rebate could decline to claim it or, if they received payment directly, they could give the money to the charity for which they volunteer.
