2019-2020 Disaster Relief: Wildfires, Tornadoes, Water, Food, Pandemic

I apologize for dropping the ball on this. I did share a lot on Twitter and a little on Facebook about how to help those affected by disasters over the past year, but didn't do a very good job of bringing that to light on my own blog.

At any rate, there is so much going on. The entire world seems to be overwhelmed by something, whether it's only the pandemic (which is enough, to say the least), or the pandemic plus natural disasters, there is a lot of devastation out there.

I've found an organization that is addressing all of the things, and they have a four-star rating from Charity Navigator: Direct Relief. This should be the go-to, in my opinion, for all disaster-related assistance. We all know there are other orgs, but I have reasons for not wanting to promote them.

Direct Relief is currently my recommendation.

If you want to help specifically with providing clean water around the world, Charity:Water is the place.

If food banks and giving kids enough to eat is a concern, support Feeding America.

I hope this helps. Thanks for caring.
