DO NOT give to RED CROSS. Very little donations actually make it to victimized area. It goes to the organization and their salaries. Donate to SAMARITAN PURSE. This organization is completely for the people, the majority goes to victims of these catastrophes. They were onsite almost immediately for NC, Birginia, Tennessee and Georgia. They did a vast majority of work in those states. FEMA came in theew all volunteers out stopped donations etc. FEMA sparked miles away from affected areas and parked in heavy forest areas so no one could see them. They said only they and thei contracted companies could help. They provided little relief and blocked other organizations. They began minimal relief after 3 weeks.
