The Salvation Army is a great place to donate money.
Don’t be so certain on the first one. While they do have the largest network of blood banks. They have also been under a near constant Consent Decree from the FDA for a very very long time. You can go to the FDA web site and see it. Basically for nearly all types of failures related to following controls and procedures while acquiring, testing, tracking, and maintaining the blood.
A consent decree is pretty much the worst type of punishment the FDA can put on any biz related to othe medical profession. Of course they can also take all profits retroactive to when they establish an issue started, but for a non-profit the consent decree is the creme-dele-creme. Basically the FDA signs off on every decision and nothing ships or moves without their ok.
Heres a link to the last amendment I’m aware of:
