Not to throw a complete damper on this, and I very much applaud the effort here and those who've agreed to donate. The charity donation of money that's used to purchase VAF merchandise is goodness almost beyond my comprehension.
But for folks who just want to send money for charity, well, it's a big world of need out there, including in our own communities. I don't argue the need for a food bank in Texas to get some more money, but I would suggest folks think about dropping into their food banks in their own cities and towns and laying on a little cash, too. Plus you can deduct it on your taxes.
That said, donating money to somebody who is in need is better than donating it to nobody who is in need.
