Samaritan's Purse and World Central Kitchen are good larger groups. Here to Serve out of Alabama, we have a poster here who works with them cooking and serving meals. Sirens Project is a small volunteer group who specializes in clearing trees and is out of Georgia. All of those are currently active in Helene relief efforts.

LINK Southern Baptist disaster relief
I donated to this group. 100% of the contributions go to people in need.

Ditto on the Southern Baptist Disaster Relief Fund. Every cent goes to helping people. All volunteers.
They have mobile kitchens, mobile laundries, mud-out crews, tree cutting crews.

Samaritans Purse is your best answer.

Catholic Charities is a good one.

Absolutely. They were camped at our church for 6+ months after Ida in Houma. Top notch group. People come from all over the world to volunteer their help. We donate regularly to them.

I’ll refrain from making a litigation cost joke, but there are some fantastic, local Catholic charities that are genuinely solid

best bet is to try to find a local organization from somewhere driving distance, but outside of the impacted area.
after Ida, a Rotary Club from Liberty, TX just randomly showed up in Montegut with 2 box trailers full of supplies.
All sorts of stuff. Canned goods, rice, cleaning supplies, water, anything you can imagine that was non-perishable. Plus something many don't think of, stacks of broken down cardboard boxes for people to use to carry stuff home in.
Stayed there out in the sun and heat to help hand them out.
Then came back 2 days later with another load. plus

A $180 Poulan and walking around to my neighbors to see who needs help. I don’t trust any of those organizations tbh.

this popped up as a roundup option at walmart self checkout today. Tcked me off. Guess they are taking advantage of the storm to drum up some funds.

I heard Samaritan's Purse has over 800 volunteers working in the North Carolina area right now. God bless them!

The old adage holds true "charity begins at home."
