CSM Charles Hayden Yes. The American Red Cross. Until two years ago, I lived in Pearland Texas. No longer live there because of hurricanes, tropical storms and constant flooding.

Why not both? They have a little bit different mission set but both have the end goal of helping people. Either are good, I'd suggest donating "without strings" because when there is major disaster a lot of organizations have a large increase in donations for one particular disaster and other "events" run short.

If you're looking at "where your dollar is going": The American Red Cross spends about $0.90 of every $1 it receives on programs helping people, the other $0.10 is spent on administrative and fundraising expenses (this is an excellent ratio). (Charitynavigator.org)
The Salvation Army spends about $0.81 of every $1 it receives on programs. (http://www.give.org) Also a good rating.
(Basis of comparison: WWP is at $0.75 per $1 and USO is at $0.60 per $1)
