The United Way is helping a lot of people right now plain and simple, thats all I really want to get across. And if you think churches aren't a business you must have had your cool-aid spiked with some DMT this morning. I feel so chicken $hit for even responding to you.

Images sure the United Way is helping. Just like the Red Cross is helping. About 15 cents of every dollar they get actually goes to helping people. The rest is payroll. Times like this it's better to give locally and know your money is going where it is needed. When a church asks for donations of items for people (clothes, hygiene products, etc) and an organization asks for a check. Guess who I'm trusting?

Right on Duckman!!! We had over 2,000 come through our donation center (food, clothing cleaning items, etc.) that we set up in our local church last week. We are now hosting the Southern Baptist disaster response team and they are preparing and distributing 10,000 meals per day (and that's not a typo), 10,000. They are distributing them in 4 southwest parishes and its all free of charge to folks affected by the flood. Like Duckman said, keep it local where 100% of your donations go to the flood victims and nothing goes to payroll.

I have a friend that has gone down south with his church group three times bringing stuff. That's a 2-2 1/2 hour one way drive for those guys. They have never asked for a dime. Only that people donate anything they can for them to bring south.
