[quote:Ralph--a house dog:MV8zMjY3NzAwXzU4NDIwMTQxXzQyQzg1MzRF] [quote:Anonymous Coward 44493293:MV8zMjY3NzAwXzU4NDE1NzkwX0Y0OTJFQkM1] [quote:momnplanmode:MV8zMjY3NzAwXzE4NUE0MDQ4] Instead of bashing Trump for trying to do for all citizens...children included, people should take a look at what the Red Cross is doing down here. Here are some eyewitness accounts posted on FB https://www.facebook.com/beth.houghton2/posts/10154313584511181 So as we are headed back home from the River Center in Baton Rouge volunteering our nursing services Dawn and I have come to the conclusion that neither of us WILL EVER volunteer or donate to the RED CROSS. The Red Cross basically takes over the shelters and starts refusing clothes, donations and various volunteer services UNLESS they are previously contracted. So what does that mean....well, 60 boxes of doughnuts were discarded this morning becuase the delivery vendor was not in contract, hot meals were refused becuase the entity providing wasn't contracted, and medical supplies including medications were trashed for same reason. Clothes that were "donated" needed to be left on the street unless they were "furnished" by Red Cross. As of tomorrow, the shelter we were at will be completely over taken by the Red Cross other than the medical area because they couldnt have the actual room since LSU has a contract with state to provide medical care. Its sad when the military police were helping to "protect" the medical areas from the red cross when there are so many other issues at hand. Anyway, next time to want to donate or volunteer your services, do your homework. Feel free to share! [/quote] [b] Kindness will always be rewarded. What you are talking about, and I can not speak for red cross..BUT. They, I am sure have regulations in place. It is better to be safe than sorry..What if it were someone with poison food? Or clothing infested with some thing? Medical supplies? NO. Truth is that there need be no disaster to help ones in need. Your family comes first. Maybe you have neighbors who are hungry? Your community? Start giving to ones you do not need a contract with...The Red Cross are doing their job.They have regulations to go by. They still care.. [/quote] NO they DO NOT CARE! Ever since they hooked up with FEMA, they have been complete assholes. That's when their problems started. [/b] [/quote]
