The Red Cross appreciates help from Baptists - Southern Baptists.
Red Cross, Black Pastors at Odds
"A spokesman for the Red Cross acknowledged that the organization needed to build its presence in poor black neighborhoods."
Later: Well, no good deed goes unpunished. Checked some info, including Red Cross standards for supply & training, food safety concerns, liability issues, & learning that the SBC generally has good rep for this sort of service. Still, I reserve the privilege of making fun of Southern Baptists at any opportunity. & the idea of southern black & white Baptist patriarchs fighting over who gets to serve the macaroni & cheese is kinda funny. Let's all give an Amen to those hard-working ladies in the church kitchen.
