All weekend, people in
Houston, across the Gulf Coast, and around the country have been pitching in to
aid those affected by the devastating flooding in southeastern Texas.
We’ve been inspired by
the acts of citizens aiding their neighbors, the first responders at work on
the ground, and the people around the country who have come together to support
those in need.
Help is still needed,
and there are many ways for you to contribute from anywhere. Here are some of
the organizations providing urgent relief and essential services to the people
affected by Hurricane Harvey:
"Thank you to all the first
responders and people helping each other out. That's what we do as Americans.
