Sorry you've had such a bad experience with the Red Cross. The Red Cross here in OKC is awesome. When DH and I were asked to leave our home due to natural gas problems, the Red Cross paid for us to live in a 2 bedroom townhouse for as long as we needed it no questions asked. The food they are serving at the disaster areas in Moore, OK is provided and cooked by the Oklahoma General Baptist Association's Disaster Relief Teams which are cooking up to 30,000 meals a day for the Red Cross, Salvation Army, etc. These meals are also provided to all of the disaster relief teams in the areas that have been hit. Some of our friends hit by the Sunday tornado have already had their power restored, thanks to teams of electrical workers from Tennessee. God is so good and there is no time for negativity here in OK. It is full steam ahead to donate and help where we can. There will be a time and place to criticize and complain at a later date.
