      </p>
<p>
        As Hurricane Irma looms, charities still need your help with relief efforts in the aftermath of <a href="https://www.today.com/video/hurricane-harvey-hits-houston-with-catastrophic-flooding-1034090051906" target="_blank">Hurricane Harvey</a>. Both Texas-based and national relief organizations are listing their most pressing needs in online wish lists, and there are other ways to help out.
      </p>
<div class="inline-img-container" readability="8.5">
<figure class="entry-img retina-enabled" readability="32"><img class="j-entry-img" src="https://media2.s-nbcnews.com/j/newscms/2017_35/1278754/hurricane-relief-wish-lists-170829_f4c056ae8e165e25b6a249ade9c4aff4.today-inline-large.jpg" alt="" title="Epic Flooding Inundates Houston After Hurricane Harvey"/><small class="entry-img-credit">Getty Images</small></p>
<p>People are rescued from a flooded neighborhood after it was inundated with rain water, remnants of Hurricane Harvey, on August 28, 2017 in Houston, Texas.</p>
</figure>
</div>
<p>
        While those far from the areas affected by Harvey can feel powerless to help, a simple visit to an online retailer like Amazon can make a big difference for a charity on the front lines of the clean up efforts. You can shop directly for items that storm survivors need&#8230; or buy yourself something nice from a company that donates all or some of its profits to storm relief.
      </p>
<p>
        Here is a list of just some of the ways you can help.
      </p>
<h2>1. Give to the SPCA of Texas/Jan Rees-Jones Animal Care Center</h2>
<p>
        This Dallas-based animal shelter has created an <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/ref=cm_wl_search_24?ie=UTF8&amp;cid=A2E5EBWBUAP3VA" target="_blank">Amazon wish list</a> to reflect their needs — from cat litter to dog treats — as they help the pets of evacuees.
      </p>
<p>
        &#8220;The SPCA of Texas is working hard to help the evacuees&#8217; pets coming to North Texas,&#8221; the Texas animal rescue wrote in a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/spcaoftexaspage/posts/10155207727893978" target="_blank">Facebook post</a>. &#8220;The support we&#8217;ve felt from everyone across the country has been truly incredible! You all have donated hundreds if not thousands of items to help the evacuated pets in our care.&#8221;
      </p>
<p>
        The group is using its Facebook page to update readers on relief efforts &#8212; and has repeatedly had to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/spcaoftexaspage/posts/10155223036258978">deny the cruel rumor</a> that it is euthanizing animals rescued from Harvey.
      </p>
<h2>2. Give to the Animal Defense League of Texas</h2>
<p>
        Used or new towels, flat sheets, non-scented baby wipes, blankets, crates, and pop-up kennels are just some of the needs listed by the Animal Defense League of Texas on their <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/1G9EQVIYRYS0G/ref=cm_sw_su_w" target="_blank">Amazon wish list</a>.
      </p>
<p>
        The group also is seeking monetary donations, and those in the San Antonio area <a href="https://adltexas.org/programs-services/foster-care/prepping-for-hurricane-harvey/">can drop off pet-supply donations</a>. One bit of good news: Due to what <a href="https://adltexas.org/programs-services/foster-care/prepping-for-hurricane-harvey/">the group&#8217;s website</a> calls &#8220;an amazing response,&#8221; it&#8217;s not currently seeking families to foster rescued Harvey animals.
      </p>
<h2>3. Donate supplies to the Refugee Services of Texas-Houston</h2>
<p>
        A list of supplies needed by this charity, which provides resettlement services to refugees and other displaced persons in the Houston area, can be found on their <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3F7GYI33C7RTI/ref=cm_go_nav_hz&amp;tag=hurricaneharveyrelief-082917-20" target="_blank">Amazon wish list</a>. Needed items range from dictionaries to coffee filters.
      </p>
<h2>4. Send donations to the Texas Diaper Bank</h2>
<p>
        &#8220;Please consider purchasing items off of our wishlist to send to those that are being effected by Hurricane Harvey,&#8221; the charity wrote in a<a href="https://www.facebook.com/texasdiaperbank/posts/1659754657429012" target="_blank"> Facebook post</a>. &#8220;Every diaper and every wipe counts.&#8221;
      </p>
<p>
        A complete list of items needed by the Texas Diaper Bank can be found on their <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2GACHT2Y0BS9B?_encoding=UTF8&amp;filter=&amp;ref_=cm_sw_r_fa&amp;sort=default&amp;type=wishlist" target="_blank">Amazon wish list</a>. And if you&#8217;re near San Antonio, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/texasdiaperbank">follow them on Facebook</a> &#8212; they&#8217;ve posted calls there for volunteers to come help when a large donation arrives.
      </p>
<h2>5. Give to the American Red Cross</h2>
<p>
        The American Red Cross has designated items, such as portable cribs and power outlets, needed for relief efforts on an <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/registry/wishlist/3S2C81IC67YC1/" target="_blank">Amazon wish list </a>specific to Hurricane Harvey.
      </p>
<h2>6. Support the Junior League of New Orleans Diaper Bank</h2>
<p>
        The Junior League of New Orleans is helping Hurricane Harvey victims by accepting donations to their own diaper bank and passing them on. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/juniorleagueofneworleans/posts/10154653954816751">On Aug. 31, the group posted</a> that 30,000 diapers were headed to the Texas Diaper Bank, and more are being accepted.
      </p>
<p>
        &#8220;Many agencies will be providing aid, and JLNO is uniquely positioned to help families through its Diaper Bank,&#8221; the agency wrote in a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/juniorleagueofneworleans/posts/10154646286206751" target="_blank">Facebook post</a>.&#8221;We are accepting donations of diapers, baby wipes, diaper cream, and feminine products.&#8221;

<h2>7. Shop with Amazon Smile</h2>
<p>
        By choosing a charity, such as the Red Cross, through <a href="https://smile.amazon.com" target="_blank">Amazon Smile</a>, a portion of all everyday purchases made on Amazon will be donated to a chosen organization.
      </p>
<p>
        <strong><em>Local businesses have also banded together to create products that give back to the community &#8211; if you don&#8217;t want to send something to a larger charity or make a purchase through Amazon, supporting one of these companies is good way to give right to the source. </em></strong>

<h2>8. Purchase a #TexasStrong Necklace</h2>
<p>
        You can wear symbols of the Lone Star State&#8217;s strength and help out at the same time.

<h2>10. Give backpacks &amp; school supplies to local kids</h2>
<p>
        Kids and schools are especially vulnerable in disasters like Harvey. Buy a<a href="https://www.herobackpacks.com/collections/heroforhouston" target="_blank"> HERO backpack</a> and another one filled with school supplies will be sent to a child in need.
      </p>
<div class="inline-img-container">

</div>
<p>
        &#8220;The backpacks will be sent to the Houston-based Rick Anthony Athletic Foundation who will fill them with supplies and distribute to the 160+ school districts that have been shut down,&#8221; <a href="https://www.herobackpacks.com/collections/heroforhouston">the site notes</a>. In addition to supplies, the 12,000 children displaced by the storm need hope. Since each HERO backpack carries the story of an inspiring hero, with your help, we have a real opportunity to make a big difference.&#8221;

<h2>11. Rock this shirt for New Orleans loves Houston</h2>
<p>
        New Orleans and Houston are close in distance, and also in friendship. NOLA site <a href="https://www.fleurtygirl.net/hou-dat-tee-pre-order.html" target="_blank">Fleurty Girl </a>has designed a T-shirt playing off the famed New Orleans Saints&#8217; football chant, &#8220;Who Dat?&#8221;, changing it to &#8220;Hou Dat.&#8221;

</div>
<p>
        Proceeds from the sale of the $20 shirt will be donated to the <a href="https://www.feedingtexas.org/">Feeding Texas</a> food bank helping affected areas.
      </p>
<p>
        &#8220;We haven&#8217;t forgotten that Houston helped New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina,&#8221; the site reads. &#8220;Now it&#8217;s our turn to help them.&#8221;
