You want to know what FEMA and Red Cross do during a disaster! I saw this during Katrina too!! FEMA why do y’all do this????
Red Cross and FEMA/TEMA
Has arrived and all donations that has been given to local high school volunteers have been CONFISCATED.
Starting with Davy Crockett High school, They are taking over all volunteer schools in Washington Co, Greene County & surrounding schools.
In order for anyone to get donations that was given they must be approved.
All monetary donations have been taken as well and placed into a TEMA account. If you are unaware of how that works- those items doesn't all get used for this particular disaster.
Volunteers have been asked to leave, and was told in order to help they MUST be trained by United Way.
PLEASE, I know I already made a post on Red Cross and FEMA the other day, but please if you donate, donate to a church or give to individuals.
They can not take supplies from churchs! Church members will make sure your donations get to the correct hands.
We are still taking donations here, as well as picking up donations this weekend- our donations will be going directly to church's for them to help the communities.
I know several others that are picking up donations and taking them as well.
And if you would rather donate directly to a church for a church to take- I can put you in contact with churches also.
**update**
After the backlash FEMA/TEMA has told the principal the items will be given to the locals however we know how these things have worked with all the other disasters so,
Take this as you will.
I will post a link below on how to "sign up to volunteer" for that option as well for anyone that would like to help via that route.
