How to Help with Hurricane Irene Relief Efforts

From US Fish & Wildlife Service

One thing I love about social media is the ability to partner with so many great organizations. One group that I find very helpful is Network For Good.

Network for Good is a website where users can donate to charities and search for volunteer opportunities. Founded in 2001 their mission is to "imagine what the world would be like if every time you were inspired to help someone or something, you could -- with just a few clicks of a mouse, anywhere online (website)."

If you want to find a way to help Hurricane Irene victims, then check out their post. Not only do they let you donate right away, but they also provide tips on giving. I provide them in a bullet-list but you can read more about each one on the second tab from their post.

• Give to an established 
• Designate your gift
• Avoid telemarketers
• Research and follow up
• Give online

 

The post even allows you to partner with them as a non-profit working with Hurricane Irene. Just click the "Nonprofit Guidelines" tab for more information.
