Again....read the comments in the links.

They were not bringing home cooked meals. These are pkg and sealed items being rejected. Two guys rescued all week then went to the grocery and bought all the fixings to make enough gumbo for 1000....they were turned away. There were reports of freezers full of meat being night and donated that are still in freezer bc it's not from their contracted person.

There's a lady in NOLA who filled a uhaul and brought it up. They were trying to donate but kept getting a run around. The Red Cross sent the police after them and as they were in the parking lot people were begging for stuff. A mother who had no formula, a elderly man wanting some bottled water, a young man wanting a pillow or blanket. The Red Cross officials threatened to kick them out of the shelter if they accepted a donation from the uhaul.

Again....read people's comments on those posts. Things are horrifically bad down here and the need is overwhelming. Neighbor's have a hard time helping each other because they are all in the same boat.
