But GOV Abbot said to give to a specific fund that is not readily found.

Which is best?

Samaritan’s Purse is our choice. It gives 97% of all money donated to help on the ground, with only 3% going to overhead, much better than most charities. Thrivent Insurance is matching member donations to a selected list of reliable charities that includes Samaritan’s Purse, so if you are a member of Thrivent, your gift is doubled.

Samaritans Purse, avoid the red cross

Texas Baptist Men. They seem very well-organized and set up to do the sorts of things needed after a flood (feeding, shower and laundry facilities, mud-out crews), and they're based near the area flooded.

And I assume Christians traditional enough to believe in hell, and that diverting charitable contributions would be one way to end up there.

Check Charity Navigator or Charity Watch if you have any questions or concerns.

Having looked at the information and choices I decided to donate to Catholic Charities. They already have a built in infrastructure for distribution and I feel that my money will go where it's needed most.

I know an uninsured family who is up the creek. We are helping them out.

I’ve nixed Salvation Army because they pig-piled on Trump after Charlottesville.

“The Salvation Army, the American Red Cross and Susan G. Komen on Friday joined a growing exodus of organizations canceling plans to hold fundraising events at the Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, deepening the financial impact to President Trump’s private business amid furor over his comments on Charlottesville.”

I nixed Red Cross decades ago because of veteran friends of mine who were screwed by Red Cross many times, and in many ways.

I’m not Southern Baptist, but I know that the Southern Baptist Men’s relief crews usually are first on the scene of any disaster. I would put my money there.

Samaritans Purse. I used to also support Salvation Army but not anymore because they went political.
