Letter to Editor: Valero Steps Up Vol. 16, No. 5 Sunday, December 2, 2018 USPS 9400 / Cost .75 ¢ LETTER TO EDITOR: VALERO STEPS UP On, Wednesday, November 28, Valero Texas City Refinery presented checks totaling $415,000 to 23 local charities with programs serving children in our area. Programs included those bat- tling food insecurity, encouraging education, providing mentoring services, and advocating on behalf of kids in foster care. The funds were raised though the Valero Texas Open Benefit for Children (VTOBFC), where Valero employees, business partners and other sponsors rally together across 12 golf courses. This year the VTOBFC raised over $12 million. Since Valero started this effort in 2002, it has raised over $138 million for children’s charities worldwide. The Texas City ISD Foundation for the Future was one of the organizations receiving gener- ous funds enabling the Foundation to: 1. Continue our “Helping Hands Program (HHP)” - Providing assistance to students, who par- ticipate in the free or reduced lunch program and/or do not have basic personal items. 2. Develop and implement two new projects; “The Lunch and Learn” – Teaching prenatal care and child development; and, the “Start Fresh at TCHS with Suds and Stuff” – Creating a resourceful and multipurpose area for Texas City High School’s economically disadvantaged students and their families. For this and much more, we thank Valero Texas City Refinery!

GIVE WISELY ALL THROUGH THE SEASON: BBB ALERTS DONORS TO CHARITY SCAMS AND TIPS ON GIVING DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON From collection kettles to toy drives to end-of-the-year tax deductions, the spirit of the holidays means giving to favorite causes and to those less fortunate. With that in mind, several charities started Giving Tuesday to follow the busy shop- ping weekend after Thanksgiving (Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday). Giving Tuesday fell on November 27, this year; unfortunately the need continues throughout the season. So it becomes really important to make sure that when we give, our dollars reach their expected destination. Unfortunately, scammers also take advantage of the giving season to perpetuate charity fraud, and the Better Business Bureau of Greater Houston and South Texas is sharing examples of possible scams to educate donors: Fake or copycat charities: Scammers sometimes set up fake charities with similar sounding names of well-known charities. These fake charities may appear online, creating websites, phishing emails, or social media pages piggyback- ing off of the names of other charities. In some instances, the entity may falsely claim an affiliation to a legitimate charity by using its name or logo without permission in order to trick donors into giving. Crowdfunding donation scams: Chances are you’ve seen crowdfunding campaigns online, which may include a variety of opportunities to give to individuals in need. Most crowdfunding campaigns are well-meaning but, unfortunately, some are not. Scammers are active on crowdfunding sites too, as witnessed with the recent news concerning the individuals connected to the alleged Good Samaritan scam, supposedly helping a homeless veteran following his good deed when, according to prosecutors, the entire story was a ruse to target potential donors. Aggressive telemarketers: Although phone fundraisers can be helpful for legitimate orga- CONTINUED ON PG 2 CMR. GEORGE P.

The BBB urges donors to research charities and possible scams before giving to ensure that their generous contributions are going to trustworthy organizations and offers the following tips to avoid scams: • Watch out for name similarities. When charities seek support for the same cause, their names are often similar. Before you give, be sure you have the exact name of the charity to avoid a case of mistaken identity. • Avoid on-the-spot donation decisions from unfamiliar organizations. • Be wary of emotional appeals and always research the charity when possible • If donating to a crowdfunding campaign, only give to individuals you know. • Recognize telemarketing cautions. Telemarketing can be a costly method of fundraising unless carefully managed. If interested in donating after receiving a call on behalf of a charity, always check out the organization before donating. • Never agree to use wire transfer, gift cards or pre-paid debit cards. Check online or call The Better Business Bureau • And most importantly, when you can, Give Locally. The POST Community Calendar GALVESTON friendswoodchamber.

We thank You for the resurrection, His ascension into heaven and His work there at Your right hand. Father, all these things we re' reminded You are for us in all these ways.
