Was hoping to find something giving laptop to needy kids for school

I guess school provides

Because of what the COVID lockdown did to this area, I gave to Second Harvest Food Bank for New Orleans and Acadiana this year.

I don't like to give to charities because 90% of the money goes to what they call "Administrative expenses".

I like to find one poor kid every year that will not have much of a Christmas. Find out the big item that they want which is usually an X box, Play Station, Bike, Trampoline or something like that. I will buy the item (do not give the parent cash) but let them put it under the tree for the kid.

Start your own charity.

Pay yourself a fat salary.

Salvation Army.

St. Judes Hospital

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul typically provides financial assistance (rent, utilities, etc.) to those in need. If there is one in your area they would be helping locally.

The local organization is called a conference and each one decides how they will provide assistance; not all conferences provide the exact same service. Most, if not all, of what you donate goes to help the needy as volunteers comprise the organization.
