I like that some of the companies are supporting with goods and not just money, Less chance of waste and it being misused.

Good, I'm glad he's admitting Syrian refugees despite the bullshite xenophobia so prevalent here in the US.

And these big companies have money to burn, so good on them, too, even if it's a tax write off more than a higher ideal - anything is better than nothing.
