Highly recommend the faith-based Salvation Army:

Can't find a working link to Texas Baptist Men, but if I do I'll post it.
Frankly, I think donating through Wal-Mart, Lowe's or HomeDepot is preferable to giving to the Red Cross, which has a history of withholding funds for "other" uses/causes and is much too PC for its own good. Wal-Mart has already pledged $1m and set up collection points in its stores, Lowes is sending materials and will match up to $1m in in-store contributions from customers. Home Depot will be announcing its relief plan soon...I trust these retailers more than I trust the Red Cross.
Salvation Army, two thumbs up.
Thanks!
Salvation Army it is then.
Many thanks.

YES INDEED!
