pick one of the local churches you see delivering food/supplies or actually helping people with their houses
so you know the money will stay local and you can see you donation going to work...
EDIT: Didnt read about churchh
Can try the local food bank.... was hit hard with floods itself....

Then I hope your employer likes having about 50% of his donation skimmed off the top and to not go to the actual victims.

Donate a day of your time to help somewhere of your choosing.
Get your boss to match it with an extra day of vacation later.
Physical labor is still needed.

Why can't it be a church?

I'm not sure why it can't be a church. I donated to the BR Foundation to benefit the cop's family earlier this month. Now I see they have a flood relief fund and I'll donate to that. They get a good rating from Charity Navigator
I've busted my share of sheetrock in the last week, still a lot of clean up and packing to do.
Thanks

Central mayor worried about city’s future in the wake of flood
Good Samaritans
Capital Area United Way
These two got high praise from the mayor of Central.

Nobody wants to admit it, but the Red Cross is THE group when it comes to disasters such as this.
At the end of the day, they are giving people a place to live, and food to eat - which is something you do NOT want your local government doing.

Usually corporate entities will match if it's not for "religious purposes". A designated "disaster relief" contribution to a church will usually be allowable by IRS guidelines as long as isn't for the benefit of any one person.
That's the legal/ tax angle. Your employer may have their own separate limitations though. You may want to check into it.

And they ship these volunteers in from out of state, and end up taking up Cots or Hotel rooms, and then eat the food thats donated to the refugees. But when locals try and volunteer, Red Cross turns them away. frick Red Cross and everything about them.
