I am the direc- VICKY LYSEK, SHELTER tor of a 14-unit DIRECTOR, ALLENTOWN, PA, shelter for the homeless and would like to ask your help in eliminating what I find to be a cosity and frustrating problem inappropriate giving.

Dear Abby is distributed by Universal am sure that Syndicate. human-services providers everywhere would be grateful if you'd ask your readers to consider the following guidelines when making a donation: 1. If it doesn't work, please don't donate it. Most programs do not have funds available to repair TVs, toasters, clocks, etc. 2.

Please call first. Some programs are unable to accept certain items, and you will save yourself frustration. 3. Please don't be angry if we say, "Thank you, but we cannot use clothing right now." If you are giving because you want to help, you should be happy our residents are clothed, not angry that you may have to spend an extra five minutes contacting other programs. 4.

Please never just leave items outside our door. In many areas this violates the city codes and contributes to poor neighborhood and community relations. Besides, we want to meet you, and thank you personally for caring. 5. Please don't use this shelter as a dumping ground.

Some shelters spend over $200 a week hauling away useless items that are in poor condition. 6. Please don't become angry if we can't pick up your donation. For many of us, transportation is a dream of the future. 7.

Please remember -us at times other than Christmastime. It's miserable to be living in a car in 100-degree weather, too. 8. Please remember that human-service providers are always grateful for your generosity our programs and our clients depend on it but we need your cooperation, too, in order to best utilize what you have to offer. Sometimes the best donation you can give us is a little of your time.

We never have problems finding a use for that.
