create a disaster within a challenging situation already.\"{\/p}<p><a  href=\"http:\/\/www.redcross.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Red Cross{\/a} spokesman Colin Downey said it takes time and money to store, sort, clean and distribute donated items, which diverts limited time and resources away from helping those most affected.{\/p}<p>\"Storing donated items can also result in thousands of dollars in warehousing, cleaning, transportation and handling fees,\" Downey explained. \"Whereas financial donations allow us to be flexible to give those directly impacted by Harvey what they need most.\"{\/p}<p>Remember, the primary focus right now is emergency shelter for people and their pets, not costly storage and transport fees for items that can be purchased as needed, in Texas.{\/p}<p>And since the needs will change, monetary donations can make a bigger difference, long-term.{\/p}<p>Monetary donations will also help restore the Texas economy as victims and relief agencies buy what they need for immediate relief and recovery and ultimately, for rebuilding what's been lost.{\/p}"},"rendering":{"adZone":"news\/consumer","webAdZoneRoot":"Web","mobileAdZoneRoot":"Mobile","dfpNetworkId":"4756","dfpAdUnitId":"komo","faviconImageUrl":"\/resources\/assets\/komo\/images\/logos\/favicon.ico","pageTitle":"The

"It would create a disaster within a challenging situation already."</p><p><a  href="http://www.redcross.org/" target="_blank">Red Cross</a> spokesman Colin Downey said it takes time and money to store, sort, clean and distribute donated items, which diverts limited time and resources away from helping those most affected.</p><p>"Storing donated items can also result in thousands of dollars in warehousing, cleaning, transportation and handling fees," Downey explained. "Whereas financial donations allow us to be flexible to give those directly impacted by Harvey what they need most."</p><p>Remember, the primary focus right now is emergency shelter for people and their pets, not costly storage and transport fees for items that can be purchased as needed, in Texas.</p><p>And since the needs will change, monetary donations can make a bigger difference, long-term.</p><p>Monetary donations will also help restore the Texas economy as victims and relief agencies buy what they need for immediate relief and recovery and ultimately, for rebuilding what's been lost.</p></div></div><div id="imgModal" class="modal fade"><div class="modal-dialog"><div class="modal-content"><div class="modal-body"><h2 id="sd-pop-up-title"></h2><div id="sd-pop-up-player"></div><div class="row"><button type="button" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close" style="margin: 5px 5px -5px;" class="close">close<i class="fa fa-close"></i></button></div></div></div></div></div><script>sinclairDigital.dependencies.require([],[
