Who are they?

A man and a woman were at two separate intersections along Route 1 the afternoon of July 10, holding white buckets and soliciting money from motorists. I've seen them there before. The guy is well dressed, wearing a tie and a traffic safety vest, and he was approaching motorists with great enthusiasm. Their buckets say they are collecting for a religious organization I had never heard of.
I would never give money to anybody without knowing exactly where it was going.
Local fire company? Absolutely, I'll drop in a few bucks.
But an unknown group that might represent something I don't believe in -- or that might be not entirely legit? Get away from my car.
