The other day, I suggested that a good place to send your money for disaster relief was the Red Cross. This is still a good idea but I have a better suggestion.
If you have money to send and you want to see it used by an organization that truly puts it where it'll do the most good, give it to Operation USA This is not a well-known outfit but I know some of the folks involved in it and, trust me, they work their butts off to help others and take nothing for themselves. For years, Operation USA has quietly been feeding and caring for people who need both, often in venues that the more famous causes cannot get to. They have my highest recommendation as a force for good in the world.
