re: Red Cross in Shelters of flood areas

Red Cross not allowing outside food in the shelters. Only allowing clothing collected by Red Cross to be distributed in shelters. From what I've read, people in shelters are pretty much being treated like prisoners. A group of nurses that volunteered have been posting on FB what a horrible experience it has been. Medical necessities brought in from the outside are being trashed and those in need refused access.

Check WAFB for Red Cross statement by Nancy Malone. And, note that Red Cross wants no items donated. They want money only. I see this as a problem, does anyone else? Persons in the shelters who have lost everything cannot even benefit from a few items of clothing donated from the outside, or any other item that may bring them the slightest bit of joy in this horrible situation.
