Consider Contributing Cash

If you're looking to help those affected by a disaster, consider making a financial contribution to a volunteer agency involved in disaster relief. Cash donations are preferable to donations of goods and services because they allow relief agencies to make purchases that meet precise needs. What's more, cash donations to recognized relief organizations are tax deductible.
