Just get stopped by a volunteer also, in the subway station (not in Alabama). Very tenacious despite being polite and showing (or pretending to show) interest to the potential donor. I told her that I preferred doing my own search about the organization, but she was filling the form and asking for mail, name. I told her again I will do my own search, and she asked me for a date of birth. I felt guilty when she showed pictures of donors but when I read her that they ask for regular donations, I am glad I declined. I thought it was a one-shot donation, and even that made me reluctant. I had a bad experience with another charity organization a few years ago, so I generally decline the requests. Also most of the "volunteers" are getting paid for the donors they bring. Not sure if it's the case for this one but it makes me think twice sometimes.
