The Salvation Army does relief work and they do a good job of it too.
I haven't had much use for the ARC since my father told of coming out of the jungles of Burma (Myanmar) in WWII and having the Red Cross charging the soldiers for do-nuts and coffee and selling cigaretts that were clearly marked "Gift of the tobacco industry to our servicemen. Not for re-sale".
Give to OXFAM or the Salvation Army. Let the ARC starve.troll
