The damage caused by Hurricane Harvey, and the damage it continues to cause, has been utterly devastating. Here’s how you can support your local Texans.
General Relief
The Greater Houston Community Foundation
Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner established a Harvey relief fund at The Greater Houston Community Foundation. The organization connects donors with a network of nonprofits and innovative solutions in the social sector.

United Way of Greater Houston
United Way of Greater Houston has launched a relief fund for storm-related needs and recovery. The organization says it already maintains a disaster relief fund but anticipates the needs of Harvey will far exceed those existing resources.
GoFundMe
GoFundMe has created a landing page that gathers the campaigns on its platform related to Harvey.
The Salvation Army
The Salvation Army says it is providing food and water to first responders and preparing for massive feeding efforts for residents.
Send Relief and Southern Baptist Disaster Relief
