Ann,
The Cerebral Palsy Association is a different charity all together. Caller ID will show CPAA for Alberta branch on call display when they call. This number is AACL Alberta Association for Community Living which does not display on your phone. They raise money for people on government assistance who are developmentally delayed. I have donated to both thinking it was the CPAA each time. I realized my confusion in December when I was stood up twice for pick ups then they showed up without prior arrangements a week later. I was told by the girl on the phone that her office location is St. Albert and it was to serve that area and Morinville? They sell donations to Value Village. I don't even live near those areas or within an hour drive one way! I am blocking them from now on.

My experience is that the callers are volunteers who benefit from the charity... eg. people with cerebral palsy, which is why they may sometimes not sound quite professional. I have been donating a couple of times a year for many years, and they have always picked up when they said they would.

Their organization needs to show the company/charity name on call display and speak clearly please. Very polite caller. Looking for clothes and household goods.

Yeah, despite three occaisions where I made it clear I wasn't interested, calls persisted to this day. Once they call, hang up and dial *60. Once connected, dial #01#. This will add the number to your blocked call list and this particular nuisance will be eliminated. You can only block up to 12 numbers using this method, but I think these guys are worth cutting off. They appear to be collecting for some community fund, but I suspect the community is merely themselves.

I too called the 800 number, to no avail, still they call and call. So finally, I sent them a number of emails and just got  a reply, that they have taken my number off their list.  We shall see.

Got another call from this Community Living company.  So frustrated that I called the 1-800 number that was referred on this site.  I basically tokd them to not call my number again, told them that this conversation of mine was being recorded, and if they call me again, I would report them, somehow, but will find a way.  So frustrating. I really would like this stopped.  I donate so much to charities, but not this obnoxiuos one for sure not.  Will reporting this on this site even help?  At least they can be a bit professional

THEY NEVER CAME TO PICK UP!!!! It drives me sooo mad when they called me again.

They've called five times today and it's only 2:00 pm. Not answering.

They call ALL the time, for days on end...(mostly dead air)...and they call every month or two. They say they are asking for donations and to leave unwanted furniture/items on the doorstep with a large A printed on paper and taped to items so that they know what to take...sounds great...BUT...THEY NEVER COME FOR THE STUFF!!!Last time I did that...WAS the LAST TIME!!! My neighbors were NOT impressed with all the bags, boxes, and furniture that sat on our front step for days on end. Made it worse with that last big snow storm and ruined some items ( that I could have sold instead of tried to donate, or could have donated to a more reputable company )...made me very angry.The last time they called, I told them that I wouldn't be trying that again.Maybe they have you put it outside and only take what looks good to them?I'm home all the time, and not once have I seen any "strange" vehicles come into our cul-de-sac.Makes you wonder.
