Statewide Iowa — Iowans who want to help residents on the Gulf Coast recover from the destructive Hurricane Ida may need to do a little homework before making a donation, according to Susan Bach, at the Better Business Bureau.
You can check out charities — good and not-so-good — at the Better Business Bureau’s give.org website.
If you’re going beyond the well-known large relief agencies like the Red Cross, United Way or Salvation Army, Bach says to be very careful where you send your donations.
Bach says donating money is the quickest way to help as it provides charities the flexibility to channel the most-needed resources to impacted areas.
