1. Donate Money Or Volunteer
A plethora of organizations are appealing for donations to help them as they send volunteers and supplies to the hardest-hit areas.
These include the
American Red Cross,
The Salvation Army,
Samaritan’s Purse,
Save The Children, the
Southern Baptist Disaster Relief and
Heart to Heart International.
The local Texas Diaper Bank is also putting together disaster relief kits for families with young children. You can
donate here.
Crowdfunding site
GlobalGiving has launched a
hurricane relief fund aimed at gathering funds for local nonprofits in the storm-stricken region.
Animal shelters and rescue groups are taking in numerous pets displaced by the storm ― whether the animals got lost in the chaos, got left behind, or simply need temporary housing while their owners stay in evacuation shelters. Those groups include the
SPCA of Texas,
Austin Pets Alive!,
Dallas Animal Services and the
San Antonio Humane Society.
2. Donate Blood
Blood centers expect a supply shortage because of the closure of some blood banks along the coast and the likely demand stemming from injuries sustained in the storm. Centers have
put out calls for
extra donors to help deal with the aftermath.
You can find donation centers or blood drives for the
South Texas Blood & Tissue Center here or for
Texas organization Carter BloodCare here.
And even if you’re not in Texas, you can search online for blood drives local to you or book an appointment via the
Red Cross website.
3. Provide Accommodation For Evacuees
Airbnb has launched a portal so that the people who have been displaced by the hurricane can find a place to stay. It’s also waiving fees for people affected by the disaster. More details are available on the
Airbnb website here.
