You are a manager of a local Homeless Shelter and 85% of your "clients" are homeless men, most are military veterans. You are approached by a PR agency and told that your nonprofit has been designated as a recipient of a program created by one of their clients, a nationally known women's clothing firm, will take "trade-ins" on dresses, and donate the used dresses to your organization. They ask where you want the first load of dresses delivered. You should:
A) Ask for money instead
B) politely decline to take delivery and suggest one of your "competitors", a shelter that also takes in battered women, and work with them to take the dresses and share the publicity
C) Call your contact at local newspaper to get some publicity
D) Ask what time the dresses will be delivered
E) Sue the corporation
