These are not calls from the departments themselves, but rather from professional fund raisers that (might) have been hired by the departments. If you ask them, they will (and have to) tell you that. They also have to tell you how much of your donations are kept by them (and it's a LARGE PERCENTAGE). So...you're not really donating (much) money to the departments, you're paying a fund-raising company. Be advised.
Said he was not a fundraiser - calling for Abington youth sports. I called the police dept and they said this is a different number than they have for any current fundraiser. I'll donate directly at the police dept.
Caller introduced himself, said he was calling from the Wilmington Police Dept and wanted a donation. Wilmington does their once a year soliciting via the US Mail. I know this for a fact. DO NOT DONATE!!
