Waco Group Denies Red Cross Charges Over Disaster Fund
Trustees of the Waco Disaster Relief Fund deny delaying Red Cross aid and say they used most of the $418,542.64 for May 11 tornado victims. They kept a balance to address future needs for orphans, widows, and others still requiring support in the wake of the 114 deaths. The group praised Red Cross efforts, noting it aided 978 families in six weeks and spent $345,000, while emphasizing fund supplements rather than duplicating assistance.
