Feeling compelled to help your fellow Americans in a time of need? Here’s a partial list of reputable organizations accepting financial donations that make a difference in their communities following the devastating winter storm that left many in the dark and cold without running water. While much of the state has restored services, many are in need of meals and water.

CrowdSource Rescue

The Texas disaster response nonprofit, and right now, their focus is getting senior citizens and vulnerable populations warm. Any resident of the greater Houston area can request help by visiting CrowdSourceRescue.org/freeze. The link also provides information for those who want to donate or volunteer.

Lucille’s 1913

The organization combats food insecurity and waste. To support storm relief efforts, it’s preparing and distributing meals to those homeless, displaced, and without power. Click here to donate.

Texas Relief Warriors

This nonprofit is dedicated to helping communities after disaster strikes. By Friday, the organization said it cooked hot meals for about 2,000 Houstonians. Click here to donate via PayPal, and click here to learn how to volunteer.

Feeding Texas

Many Texans are running low on food and finding empty grocery store shelves. Food pantries are running out of supplies. And the freeze has wiped out substantial portions of the state’s citrus and vegetable crops. Click here to learn more or donate to the Crisis Relief Fund
