I received my receipt for my Red Cross donation. It took them quite a while to send it - they must be very backlogged, which is sort of a good thing I guess. Not the backlogging, but the overwhelming response of donations.
Anyway, at the bottom of the email was this:
Please note that in accordance with IRS regulations, no goods or services were provided by the American Red Cross as part of this contribution.
I hope this isn't the reason aid was so slow in getting to the Gulf region.
