<p>Below are some of the ways you can donate to help the people of Texas.</p>

The portal aims to match volunteers with relief organizations and agencies.</p>
<p>For now, Volunteer Houston is urging volunteers to wait until the storm has cleared. Once conditions are safe, registered volunteers will be contacted and given an assignment. Until then, a&nbsp;pre-registration page&nbsp;is open <a href="http://www.volunteerhou.org/drm/needs/display/421/">here</a>.</p>
