<p>Some Harvey evacuees have come to Dallas-Fort Worth to avoid the damage and danger of the storms. Here&#8217;s how North Texans can help.</p>
<h2>Volunteer to Help Evacuees</h2>
<p>The City of Dallas may need volunteers to help evacuees at designated recreation centers. <a href="http://www.voly.org/join/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Register online to become a volunteer</a>. If you&#8217;re already in Houston, you might also <a href="https://www.hands.org/texas-hurricane-response/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">consider volunteering with All Hands Volunteers</a>.</p>
<h2>Provide Supplies for City Recreation Centers</h2>
<p>Drop off supplies at a donation center at 15660 North Dallas Parkway (north of Arapaho Road), Dallas, from 3-8 p.m. through Sept. 1. The center is operated by the local nonprofit group <a href="https://trustedworld.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trusted World</a>, which is working with the city and several disaster relief agencies.</p>
<p>Items needed: diapers, baby wipes, toiletries, feminine hygiene products and nonperishable food including baby formula. The only clothing items that are needed at this time are packs of underwear and socks.</p>
<p>Check the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/trustedworld/?fref=ts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trusted World Facebook page</a> and the city&#8217;s 211 phone line for the latest information.</p>

<h2>Provide Shelter for Evacuees</h2>
<p>Volunteer your rental home or room through rental site <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Airbnb.com</a>, which is connecting evacuees in the path of the storm with free, short-term lodging. Airbnb hosts in designated areas are able to volunteer their rentals <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/disaster/hurricaneharveyevacuees" target="_blank" rel="noopener">through a sign-up program</a>. That&#8217;s also where evacuees can request lodging.</p>
<p>The program has been activated in several cities, including Dallas, San Antonio and Austin. It will run through Sept. 1.</p>
<h2>Tell Dallas Mornings News About Other Ways to Help</h2>
<p>Contact reporter Cassandra Jaramillo at <a href="mailto:cjaramillo@dallasnews.com">cjaramillo@dallasnews.com</a> or editor Leslie Snyder at <a href="mailto:lsnyder@dallasnews.com">lsnyder@dallasnews.com</a> to help DMN spread the word about ways North Texans can help.</p>
