Charities need to work their business plan

Re: Editorial Charities may need to cut back, Advocate March 6.I for one agree with you; we at the Red Deer Food Bank have for a number of years engaged in proactive funds development. We work hard for our money with everything from our barbecues to raffles. Hard work, great return, and yes we operate on a business model. Unfortunately your general tone detracted from your very clear message, but I am one that understands the importance of getting to the point.
