Inquired about a diaper giveaway. Did not reply to their email, because they emailed asking for the last 4 of my social security number, along with other identifying information for myself and my son, and the email was not encrypted. It wasn't a form that I had to fill out either. It was literally "type all of your identifying information into this email".

I received a follow up call for another diaper giveaway. Expressed my concern about providing any part of my SSN, because I've never worked with the organization. The woman on the other end of the phone was incredibly rude and completely disregarded my concerns. Wanted me to make up my mind about participating right then and there because she has a waitlist.

I've participated in other diaper giveaways- they did not ask for my social, or any of my identifying information. I find it unsettling that the only way they can "prove" to their donors that they are giving these diapers away is by providing my SSN in the process.

Additionally, one public servant to another, if you are going to treat people negatively when they ask for clarification, find another field to work in.
