I also applaud the generosity of these employees, but you have to draw a line somewhere. Maybe you could allow employees to put a sign at their desk saying they are taking contributions, but nothing else. Personally I would be leery of making a donation to any "person", instead of through a legitimate charity like the Red Cross etc.

I beleive you shoud have a policy for any thing involving asking for money, whether a charitable cause, Avon or someones birthday in the office. These things can offend some people, and most of us do donate to many causes on our own.

I would recommend that all such requests be channeled through HR and as recommended, by anther contributor, the funds should be sent to a recognized agency.
