Most people don't realize that the great majority of the people providing help through the Red Cross are volunteers. They are highly trained, dedicated and the most caring people you will ever meet. They are highly accountable and conscientious with donated dollars and go the extra mile to find all sources of help. I'm proud to say I retired from there as an employee after 23 years and remained a volunteer for years after.
There's a reason the Red Cross is the greatest humanitarian organization on the planet. Our work is both critically important and life-changing to individuals and communities across the country and beyond.
Asked them for help with my situation of being homeless
Outstanding organization, excellent and caring employees and volunteers, thanks for your service!
Great company that helps alot of people... But me and my family, all cause I dont have written proof that I live there. I can provide pictures of all my families stuff burnt but thats not good enough.Im covered in black ash digging a couple things out of the rubble but yet im denied help.... Horrible..
I'm sure overall they are a great organization but in Kansas City they have many blood drives and a large proportion of the areas blood donations but yet provide little of that blood to local hospitals. Blood collected by the local Community blood center however stays local. The Kansas City Red Cross even schedules blood drives after CBC does for the same towns/areas but make them so they occur just before the CBC blood drives so they take the donors the CBC would get.
