A $100 donation to The Salvation Army will feed a family of four for two days, provide two cases of drinking water and one household clean-up kit, containing brooms, mops, buckets, and cleaning supplies

We donated to the Salvation Army, but that doesn't sound like much for a hundred bucks. They can forget the brooms, etc., those houses are beyond cleaning. I can buy two cases of water at my local grocery for 12 bucks and I can feed a family of four for two days for 40 bucks (a lot less, really, but if we're talking convenience foods.) Hopefully the excess is going to stock the canteens, and I have seen many SA canteens in New Orleans at those staging areas outside the city.

Food for four for two days and cleaning supplies for $100? That is not much for $100.
