-The American Red Cross: text HARVEY to 90999 for $10 donation. For larger (and for them, faster-received) donations, call 1-800-RED-CROSS or go to their website.-In our family, we're all also donating to the Texas Diaper Bank. They provide diapers and baby supplies to babies, and diapers and incontinence supplies to seniors and disabled children/adults. From what I read, these supplies are not routinely included in the big relief organization distributions. Sounds like an initiative a lot of RefuPeas could get behind. Good campaign for kids to understand, too. The Texas Diaper BankPlease post any other opportunities you hear about. |

my friend who lived in Louisiana during Katrina said that the best thing to donate to Texas is money - and directly to local churches not to the Red Cross. She said that in the immediate aftermath - there isn't anywhere for material donations to be stored and sorted but people need to replace food, medicines, clothing and replace lost wages -very few employers will be paying for time lost due to Harvey - and those who are most vulnerable are most likely to to be paid (lower income, hourly workers) and many businesses won't be open for some time afterwards (due to flood damage) and those workers won't be being paid either.
