Donations management is often referred to as the “Disaster Within a Disaster” as it takes a tremendous amount of resources to organize, categorize, store, and distribute physical goods. If you want to help those in western North Carolina and others impacted by #Helene, stick to cash donations to reputable organizations like the American Red Cross and The Salvation Army, or to local organizations supporting response and recovery efforts (h/t to Becky DePodwin, MSEM for this link): https://lnkd.in/gZrNFFXK This ensures the right resources get to those who need them most, while not pulling critical resources to sort through your lightly used clothes.
