It's being reported that Hurricane Harvey will go down as the costliest such storm in this country's history at approximately $160 billion. Millions have already been raised, blood has been drawn, thousands upon thousands of people are attempting to do all they can to help the recovery-and-rebuilding process in Houston, Texas and surrounding areas. While, as sad as it is to say, we should all be on the lookout for scams, here is a list of reputable and trusted organizations to which you can donate your time and money to this cause. No matter if you live in the area and want to volunteer some of your time, you have some old clothes you'd be willing to part ways with, or you are able to donate even just $1, every little bit helps.
