Guest guest Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Red Cross, United Way, Cancer Research Execs get Hundreds of thousands in salaries. When you feel like donating, consider the Salvation Army The Salvation Army's Commissioner Todd Bassett receives a salary of only $13,000 - mwelch6tx Friday, January 15, 2010 16:35 Red Cross Donations I have heard Red Cross gives only a very small % of monies donated to the actual people in need, can anyone give me any info on this??Thanks, Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 You don't know the half of it. Here is some of the information: http://www.aim.org/aim-column/bad-week-for-the-red-cross/ Also known for bad blood and at one time was fined over $4 million by FDA: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en & source=hp & q=Red+cross+fined+4+million+by+FDA+\ for+bad+blood & aq=f & oq= & aqi= Remember the Red Cross having to do with 911 donations: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/07/30/eveningnews/main516886.shtml If you're talking about Haiti, they surely need help. It's a shame the government doesn't give directly to the people who need it instead of the rulers.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Red Cross pulls some pretty nasty stuff. I personally know someone whose brother's home was hit by a hurricane. Lost everything, but was too proud to take any money from his family. So the guy I know went to the Red Cross and gave them $3000 to give to him, telling him it was from the Red Cross. The brother called up my friend, so excited. He said "the Red Cross just GAVE me $1500 and told me I didn't have to pay it back! Isn't that great?". My friend went and asked what happened to the rest of the money and was told it was kept for 'administration purposes" Yeah--like I'd donate to the red cross. Samala, Renee ---- Everyone on FaceBook is being asked not to donate to Red Cross - if I get some details I'll post them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 That reminds me about an effort to feed survivors, rebuild houses, and clean up the mess made by Hurricane Andrew in Florida by Jehovah's Witnesses. They were giving the people food and water when the Red Cross came to help. The Red Cross would not give out anything until the press got there to observe them.
