How does one donate locally? Is the Steve Gleason foundation a better recipient?

Yes. As well as the local United Way, Families Helping Families (for children if that is a population you are interested in donating to), the local MDA. You can also call the United Way and request a list of local charities that might serve the ALS population (as there are different ones in different places) and they will direct you as they're sort of a conglomerate of charitable organizations. There are many ways to give directly. ACCESS Louisiana is another good one for kids. Many other options that benefit families directly.
