Good morning US ...and it is US. I have put together a list of organizations and articles that will guide you in giving. These are organizations that I have personally worked with, donated and reviewed and know that the dollars given are extremely well used. If you are active in your church...and a good reason to be involved... is how efficient they are. Most mainline churches cover the adminsitrative costs of their relief organization and 100% of donated funds go directly to the disaster relifef. Also find out what your church does and go to work there. Another suggestion... if you have friends in the Huston area...get in touch with them and adopt them or a family that needs help. Working together as US...We can and do make a difference!
