Looks like, due to overwhelming inquiry, the Red Cross is starting to coordinate large shipments of donated troop goodies. I just spoke to our center and they told me what's in check/what's in need. Ours told me all shipping materials and 1,000 pounds of coffee are waiting to roll.
I'm posting this because I thought it might be helpful for those of you, like me, starting to piece together donations. Look for other coordinated efforts in your area.

Red Cross retains the right to sell packages and redistribute the funds to its muslim tolerance programs.

Sorry. I don't trust the Red Cross as far as I could throw them. These are the people who sold toothbrushes and charged for coffee and donuts during WWII - and they haven't changed. They're probably putting price tags on the stuff as we speak.

The Red Cross is the scum of the earth. Go with the USO.

I tried to send Bibles because of the thread here the other day. I was told the Red Cross won't send Bibles. They aren't on the list. So much for the Red Cross. Might as well be the Red Hammer and Sickle.

The Red Cross is a vile and despicable organization. While I haven't been tasked to go to Iraq yet, should I go there, I will refuse anything from the Red Cross. I want nothing from them nor will I ever give them anything.

Monetary donations are also requested to help cover the costs of shipping, estimated at $1 per pound of goods, the Red Cross said.
Looks like some of the RC are looking for a raise in pay.

Do not trust the Red Cross. They're actually not the Red Cross there -- they're the Red Crescent. Terrorists use Red Crescent vehicles all the time to move their junk around, and I suspect they may use Red Crescent vehicles to give "gifts" to our military. Don't fund them. Don't trust them.

My first question when I saw the title was "how much are they charging the soldiers for them?"
