So as you are probably aware, recently Hurricane Harvey hit Houston recently and the flooding is ongoing from the more than 30 inches of rain it dropped on the 4th largest city in the US, affecting literally millions of Texans https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/28/us/h ... texas.html

The Red Cross says that cash donations are most helpful http://www.redcross.org/ or call: 1-800-HELP-NOW or 1-800-257-7575 (Spanish)

If you are living in Texas and need temporary storage for your things, I work for U-Haul, we are offering a month free at centers in Texas. http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases ... 09633.html
There is a list of centers on that press release, call your nearest one and they will direct you to the nearest place they can store you so you can keep your things safe.
If you are organizing relief and would like a donation truck or trailer to help haul that relief please contact U-Haul public relations on (602) 263-6194 or e-mail at: publicrelations@uhaul.com

Further if you have lost your home or have been displaced please register first with FEMA at 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) and then register with the American Red Cross at 1-866-GET-INFO (438-4636).

Thank you for the list. I wish I had enough disposable income to donate to causes. =/

That's OK, I figured this was something I could do on the off-hand chance it helped someone.
