I.R.S.
Could we donate Hillary? McCain? Bezos and Zuckerman?
I usually check charities out here before donating - https://www.charitynavigator.org/
“Who should we donate in support of Harvey?”
Liberals!
(And cantankerous mothers-in-law willing to ladle soup)
RIP to my mom-in-law, who was nice to me.
Sally is normally the first one on the scene. Basically “soup kitchens” until additional supplies arrive. As well as workers. Convoy of Hope in Springfield,MO had trucks pre-positioned. Not just food/water but shovels, picks, chain saws, etc.
Samaritan’s Purse.
Or Hagee.
A church.
Or an animal shelter, directly.
Samaritan’s Purse, without a doubt in my mind. Here’s a link with a donate now button:

The United Methodist Committee on Relief

One hundred percent of your donation will go toward helping those in need.
Heard today that Samaritan’s Purse (Franklin Graham) is pledging 100% of the aid money to get to the people.
Samaritan’s Purse, Franklin Graham’s ministry. They’re usually one of the first to respond.
How about Samaritan’s Purse
Rev. Franklin Graham
They have been great all over the world, especially here at home.
I’m sorry, don’t like to knock any charity, but the Red Cross CHARGES people for things.
Samaritan's Purse is excellent. They were on the ground before this started and help with rebuilding.
Samaritan’s Purse ~ Franklin Graham’s organization. They do tremendous disaster relief. Had a massive response to Haiti. They help all over the world, especially here at home when things happen. Very little $$ go to administrative costs. High $$ go to relief efforts. They have many volunteers. Good organization.
I still go with Red Cross. Biggest operation; this is their expertise.
No one is perfect and I’m putting politics aside for this one. Donated yesterday; my company has dollar for dollar match.
Samaritan’s Purse, Salvation Army or Operation Blessing. I’ll be donating to Samaritan’s Purse.
Call Christian Broadcast Network and Samaritan’s Purse. Or look on their website’s for what they are doing in the aftermath of Harvey.
I have donated monthly to CBN since 2001. They have done amazing jobs in getting their fully inventoried trailers to hard hit areas providing prayer, food, repair hands and materials to those in dire need.
Shining the love of Christ to those in need brings Him to that soul to strengthen them and guide them to Him!
We are going to try to get to LaGrange, TX today and will update later. Today is a good day to get out and help others in need.
Personally, I also feel God pleading for our return to Him and not being complacent with evil expanding all around us (Islam in TX, lawbreakers, illegals, etc.). Arise to lead the lost to Him.
I wouldn’t give the time of day to the Red Cross due to a personal experience during a mid-1980s flood in Tulsa.
Salvation Army was who I usually donated to, but I have heard some negative things about them in recent years. I also specifically requested they NOT put me on their donors list for future mailings and requests for donations. They put me on the list anyway and occasionally send me requests for donations.
Several years ago I donated a rather signficant amount [for me] to a groups supposedly to help returning injured vets get laptop computers. That group turned into a professional fund-raising group and was sending nearly-weekly requests for donations. Their materials were costly to produce and deliver. A few months of their ‘give-me’ materials cost more than the meager donation I made. I asked them to remove me from their list. It took 2 different requests and a couple of ‘return to senders’ before they quit sending me stuff.

I don’t know.
There was an Amish group and a Baptist group that helped us out at our church after Superstorm Sandy. They were such a blessing. I would look into any church group that is heading down there to help.
