Charity Boxes


Question:
May I order free tzedaka (charity) boxes from the JNF (Jewish National Fund) for use in collecting for other organizations, or is that considered improper business practices?


AskTheRabbi.org answered:

If you ask the JNF for their boxes it is clear to them that you intend to collect for them. Not to do so and to use their boxes for something else would definitely be unethical behavior and forbidden. Plastic charity boxes today cost a very small amount of money and I would recommend that you purchase one or more for the various charities for which you are collecting.
