One of the most effective ways to help the hurricane relief effort
is to make a financial contribution to a well-established, nonprofit
organization already responding to the disaster. Consider contributing
to a charity of your choice to assist the victims of the storm.
These organizations include the American Red Cross, the Salvation
Army and others.
