Wholesale chains may be less than $10 each, but it adds up and eats into the tire, tube, and everything else budget. Hence why I gave the chain a once-over prior to classifying it for further service, and discovered its unique properties.

If all of you would like to see these organizations use all-new chains, reach into your pocket and donate to these groups so they have the funds to do so (or use for other worthy purposes). Or donate your time and skills for a few hours per week.
