Most of our area dodged a bullet last weekend as strong storms rolled through, but sadly other areas experienced significant damage and devastation.
Many donors are seeking ways to help those in need as Kentucky and other states begin to recover from the damage caused by the storms and multiple tornadoes.
BBB’s Give.org recommends before making a contribution or sending a donation to verify if the charity they choose to support meets the BBB Standards for Charity Accountability and review this list of charities.
Instead of clicking on links that others may send in texts and social media, which could even be bogus and cause issues with your phone or computer, consider making a cash donation directly through the charity’s own website. In an emergency situation, this is likely the fastest way of sending help.
In-kind donations of supplies may be well intended but can sometimes be difficult and costly to manage if the charity does not already have an established means to help distribute them to those in need.
