The South Carolina Emergency Management Division has updated their information on donating and volunteering. There is a long list of options for monetary donations, as well as opportunities for donations of goods and services.

If you’re looking for the Catholic option, direct your funds to Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Charleston. This is an organization of the diocese itself, and is a go-to source around the state, particularly well known for legal aid and for preventing homelessness. If you strike up a conversation with someone homeless or not-quite-homeless in the Midlands, and you mention Catholic Charities, they’ll know just who you’re talking about.

Note that diocesan web pages aren’t updated with very much disaster information yet — that would be because HQ is down on the coast, still wet and getting wetter. But Catholic Charities is already putting together plans for long term recovery work in the aftermath of the flood. You can donate online here.
