I've been trying to figure out a way to help where I wouldn't be in the way; I personally wanted to make donations, but I also wasn't sure the best way to go about that or who to trust, where to go, or where would be the most helpful right now, so I've been doing what I can to research that and see what organizations are truly there helping, making a difference - while I was doing this it occurred to me others, especially those outside of NC, might be feeling the same way. I'm sure there's multiple posts like this, but it's nice to see it from people you know and trust, so even if this list helps get a few donations where they can do the most good it will be worth it.
Here is a list of a few organizations that I see making a big impact and links for more information and donations. Some are more widely known and some are in my area that I know and trust:

(I know there are many more that can be trusted out there, but these were the ones I felt comfortable about sharing at this time.)
Even my Grandson Deacon is helping to stack Amazon packages back home in Louisiana. We are have to load them in trailers and haul them up here to North Carolina. We only had 5 trucks today. ππΊπΈβ€οΈ
