When something with the magnitude of Hurricane Harvey affects any part of our country, they send their thoughts, prayers and wish there was something they could do. Everyone is always quick to want to help, but often don’t know how they can help from so far away. But really, there are a variety of ways you can help the victims of Hurricane Harvey — some of which don’t involve cash donations.

Red Cross.

The Red Cross set up a text line under the number 90999 where you can text “HARVEY” to send a $10 donation. You can also visit their website, or call 1-855-999-GIVE to donate.

Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund.

Here you can send tax deductible donations to go to those who were affected by this hurricane. This donation method was established by the Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner.

Food Banks.

There are numerous food banks you could donate to that are currently serving those affected by Harvey. Two of these food banks are the Southeast Texas Food Bank and the Houston Food Bank. They would also accept cash donations and have been requesting those donations so they can easily purchase what they need most at different times.

Texas Diaper Bank.

The Texas Diaper Bank, located in San Antonio, is asking for donations of diapers and wipes. These can either be dropped off or mailed directly to them at 5415 Bandera Road, Suite 504, San Antonio, Tx., 78238.

The Salvation Army.

Salvation Army is accepting donations online, over the phone by calling 1-800-SAL-ARMY or by texting “STORM” to 51555.

South Texas Blood and Tissue Center.

The center is searching for donors to give 2,000 + units of blood that they are in need of. They are in serious need of both O Positive and Negative, but of course will take any donations given.

Animal Defense League of Texas.

This organization is taking in animals that have been displaced by the hurricane. They are currently looking for foster families, supplies and donations to help with finances.

Humane Society of the United States.

Their animal rescue team responds to natural disasters and currently are responding from Corpus Christi Texas to San Antonio with volunteers, equipment and rescue vehicles to help displaced animals. Any donation amount is welcomed and appreciated.
