Donation Feud in Brantford?

Look what is going on in the city? I first discovered this last week.

Bins, donation bins, Murray and grey, Brantford, Brant, kicked in

Looks like ECCA, who declined to be interviewed via email, isn’t happy that the Brant and Brantford chapter of the Kidney Foundation has moved in beside them.

By the way, what is ECCA anyways? They have no website (it resolves to GoDaddy), no charitable donation number, nothing. Brantford Police are looking into the vandalism.
