Someone here posted Samaritan's Purse, the Baptist charity, previously. The Methodists are also there with UMCOR, and we've been collecting for relief through my church in New York. You can do so too at this site. Global Ministries - UMCOR US Disaster Response and Recovery

Samaritan s Purse is by far the best.
Very reputable. Sound business practices. Minimal cost diversion to admin costs.
Very good people. I have personal experience be with them. Universally great people.

Check out Operation BBQ Relief. They provide hot meals after natural disasters strike. They were on site in Florida the day after Helene hit and were in Tennessee and North Carolina as soon as conditions allowed. They are currently serving approximately 50,000 meals a day across multiple locations. Very sound and responsible with all donations they receive.
