As the East Coast deals with the destruction of Hurricane Florence, those us us hundreds of miles away can help. Thousands of families will be dealing with the devastation for months. While it’s tempting to donate water, clothes, food, or other items, the best thing you can donate is money. It is easy to distribute, takes no warehousing, and can be spent on what is needed at that moment.

Here are some organizations worth donating to:

American Red Cross
Be sure to choose “Hurricane Florence” in the donation drop-down box.

Americares
For every $10 you donate, they can do $100 in relief

National Voluntary Organizations Active In Disaster
National VOAD is a coalition of more than 50 national faith-based, community-based and other non-governmental organizations and 55 state-level VOADs that work with local organizations.

American Humane
