If you want to donate to the Red Cross, you can do so by texting Harvey to 90999. It's a $10 donation that is applied to your phone bill. They are going to need all the help they can get.

The situation really sucks, but seeing people coming together to help is awesome. We can post feel good stories here as we run across them.

Are any of our DCC'ers misplaced by the storm or even inconvenienced at all?

If so, I'd much rather help them out directly.

Call me an asshole, but I don't like sending money to big charities.

No doubt. I'm game to help in that way, as well. We just need to know if any of our members need help. [MENTION=85]Kbrown[/MENTION], [MENTION=2]dallen[/MENTION], [MENTION=22]Texas Ace[/MENTION]

Not sure who else is in the area. If I missed some, tag them.

Oh I wasn't going to donate but if Jason Witten says I should....


I'm sorry but like someone mentioned previously, I'm not a fan of donating to big corporations. Wasn't there some expose not long ago that something like only 10% of the actual donated amount to one of the largest help organizations actually went to the cause?

I remember that specificially after 9/11, because my dumbass mom donated $5000 to one of them, and it came out later that there was an insane amount of corruption in those groups and a lot of people profited greatly off of them.

I'm jaded as hell.

I've volunteered to go down along with several officers, but the city is still waiting to get the official request from Houston and the state. Waiting sucks!

Props, man. I wish I was closer to be able to help.

Yeah I hate to say it but I'm the same way. I don't want to donate a bunch of money only to see 40% or less of it actually go to the cause and the rest to go to "administrative" fees.

Not sure if this is feasible in your area but my wife went and bought a bunch of stuff at walmart and dropped it off at a fire dept that is taking everything down later this week
