I have answered your question as far as I am able to within the confines of commercial sensitivity and corporate confidentiality.

You'd be doing the same thing as VM did but with even less justification. Your "generosity" would underwhelm anyone.

Yes, being perfectly serious. Rather than waste the books, it would be a nice gesture to give the unwanted books as presents to the disadvantaged. It may possibly be the only gift that they receive (even if they don't read it, the act of giving shows them that someone cares).

Just because someone has become homeless doesn't mean they are not intelligent or that they necessarily have literacy problems.

Why do you believe that this is a bad idea?

The charity is non judgemental, so yes, they would be helped and offered a gift on Christmas day if they met the qualifying conditions.

Anyone dismissed by their employer because of misconduct, capability or attitudinal problems would not be precluded from receiving our assistance.
