I would like opinions on the best agency to donate money to. Actually, I
have heard many not so good things about the Red Cross. I have heard the
Salvation Army is much more humanitarian based. Any opinions?


The ARC kinda blew it during 911. They ended up throwing away several
(hundreds I believe - if not more) pints of donated blood that they kept
insisting was needed. I believe they also bumbled cash donations as well.
Seems to me, the head was called in to a hearing to ask why they screwed up.
My personal dealings with them - the "workers" are ok - the administrators
I've dealt with, were in short - ass holes.
