If anyone at church knows of a way to help those people hit by yesterday’s earthquake let me know.
I donated to the Red Cross for the Haitian earthquake but I heard they aren’t so good
I just want to do something. Those poor people,
The Salvation Army is usually a good choice, but I don’t see anything at their site about this disaster, yet. For disasters in the US and nearby, such as Haiti, I contribute to Baptist Men’s Relief; they’re a very efficient organization.

Samaritan’s Purse, the organization that runs “Operation Christmas Child,” is doing relief in Nepal. I see that Oxfam, the English charity, is also there.
Also Catholic Relief Services.
Which of these would be most efficient, I don’t know. You could try “Charity Navigator” to see how they rate.
Unfortunately, the Red Cross can’t go into Muslim countries to help. They can make a donation to the Red Crescent, but the cross, of course, is a symbol of Christianity, so the organization isn’t welcome.
