I once helped as a volunteer with a big national American Red Cross fundraiser/meeting as well as volunteering at a telephone bank doing "client" services for Katrina Hurricane victims. Never again. I saw the ARC staff and top-volunteers "skimming." In disasters I'd now only now donate to the Salvation Army which has the lowest overhead costs and great results.
