"Red Cross... I don't think I've ever donated even a dime to them either."

Some time ago I read hundreds of millions poured into the Red Cross after Muslims flew planes into buildings in NYC. The article said the area directors as far away as the west coast who had incentive contracts for generating donations made millions in a matter of hours. The article quoted an amount at that time that was approaching a billion dollars and said details on where it all went were murky at best.

Anything we can afford to give goes to Salvation Army.

I think I read about that as well. There have been other Red Cross scandals before that, too. I stay away from 'em.

Yes, that's one of our favorite charities. We donate items to a nearby Goodwill store as well.

I hope Goodwill is as "good" as the Salvation Army... I honestly don't know, do you?
