For those of you interested in donating specifically to ranch families, the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association has established the Cattle Raisers Relief Fund:
"One hundred percent of the funds received by TSCRF will be distributed to ranchers impacted by the hurricane and subsequent flooding."
Check out the link. You can either click to donate via credit card, or an address is provided for those who would rather mail a check.

I'm not personally in an area impacted by this disaster and have nothing to gain from your donations. Like many of the rest of you, I no longer give anything to the Red Cross, choosing the Salvation Army instead. But, in cases of hurricanes, wildfires, and other natural disasters that impact ranchers, I look for opportunities like this so that I can be sure my money is going to help people like me.
