Dear Friends,

I just had a man stop by Grace Lutheran Church affiliated with USAgain attempting to get me to accept a donation box (very
attractive) on our campus to receive clothing.  I urge you to beware of this group.  I do not know much about the organization, but
three points are relevant:

1) They are FOR PROFIT.
2)  They will take donated clothes that might otherwise have gone to a local charity and ship them to another continent for
SALE/their profit.
3)  They are targeting churches (not unlike cell companies with their towers) with the lure of some compensation knowing that some
are in tight financial positions.

I am asking that you pass this along so that our conferences are knowledgable of this organization when they are approached.

Peace,

Matt
