Alright. 

All of you are probably aware of what has been transpiring over the last couple of weeks with the devastation brought on by Hurricane/Tropical Storm Harvey. This may be the worst natural disaster on US soil since Hurricane Katrina, which made landfall 12 years ago to the day on Tuesday. 

I know that we all can't pull a JJ Watt out of our ass and instantly raise money, but I would really like to see us in EAW help as much as we can. Many of the people affected by this storm have nothing. I don't mean just possessions or a home, a car, etc...I mean basics like food, water, toiletries, etc.

Charities and FEMA are helping, but I believe that it's our shared responsibility to help each other as individuals in the times of need of others. 

I have a link to the American Red Cross Via Amazon if you want to donate using that account OR purchase supplies that the Red Cross has on their list.

Also, I saw this list of local charities compiled on Twitter if you feel like donating to a more local, specific charity.

I will update this thread with any new charities or information i find and i encourage all of you in EAW to supply links and information that you find.

Being familiar with hurricanes living on the gulf and having to see a pair of sisters either evacuate or remain trapped in Houston...also seeing some of the struggles of Texans fellow Louisianians who may have lost everything...I appeal to the basic humanity in all of you to lend a hand if you can. 

Thanks guys.

Some other local charities/organizations that are in need.

Donated what I could to Interfaith Ministries. I have family along the Gulf Coast, so I know how bad this has been for Texas and Louisiana. Luckily they're fine. I know there are plenty of other people who can't say the same.

Thank you. Do you have a link to their website or information where people interested can make contact?

That's for the immediate cash donation, but if you hover over the "donate" tab up top, it gives you a few different options.
