Exactly, I would hope someone could figure that out.

Or try looking in one of the many threads that already are opened about the hurricane.

Damn, I wonder what the average IQ of this board is.

I have been watching the TV and I don't get the newspaper, maybe I should? I've gotten a few numbers, I was trying to start a thread and get a big list of online donation sites for people, and trying to find one for myself while I was at it. Nevermind.

The redcross has a history of questionable "accounting practices". Give to the Salvation Army.

Seriously, thats kind of low for an organization to do. I guess I'll donate to the Salvation Army.

I'm pretty sure they've fixed the problem since 9/11, but you never know. A few people can make an entire organization look bad.

Yep, now I remember hearing about that on the news. For shame, and honestly, why would you do something like that when it comes to a situation like 9/11?

When my grandpa was in the army the Red Cross made them pay for coffee and doughnuts and made them give deposits for playing card however the salvation army was completely free and generally better people :-/, also the rec cross spends millions on Ads instead of helping so DEFINITELY give to the Salvation Army
