The American Red Cross President and CEO Marsha J. Evans' salary for 2011 was $951,957plus expenses.
True, the Red Cross doesn't need canned goods...BUT people will.
When has Obama ever helped anybody that he didn't think would help himself more?
The Red Cross needs money to pay their salaries and benefits.
Salvation Army helps people, not themselves.
lonestar...it has been forever since I have seen you. Good to see you. I agree with you re: red cross.
I would add United Way into the Bad Charity group. Do not forget, I was a stone cold crackhead once, and I needed help.
Red Cross wasn't even on the radar. United Way only directed me to groups that could help.
Salvation Army, on the other hand, gave me groceries. Stuck me in a short term recovery house. Introduced me to long term recovery houses. Gave me support of every manner, so long as I followed their simple rules.
SA is the BEST.
