Unless you're very elderly, I would think this would be hard to fall for. Danville police officers aren't going to call you if you miss jury duty.

What I don't like about donating to grocery store food donations and police charities is that the grocery stores (in addition to profiting off your purchase) and the police (who metely collect the monetary donations) take all of the credit. Not right.
