has been on the streets and in the trenches with providing aid to hurricane survivors. They've been amazing!

Red Cross and FEMA, not so much.

But, I will say, smaller organziations can focus on individual places while their net has to be widespread.

I know their (Red Cross) workers mean well. But local churches, restaurants, and the like have been much more successful at organizing and expediting aid services in particular neighborhoods here in NYC. And in NJ, too.
