Words by a local Friend:

The Catherine McAuley Center has always worked with the marginalized community: they do refugee work, run the domestic violence shelter (which is very relevant since these types of crises always lead to a spike in that type of violence), teach GED classes....etc They are definitely on the ground, right in the area affected, and already have programs in place. (recently they've been distributing gift cards for people to go and replace basic household supplies). Even the secretary lives in one of the hardest hit neighborhoods, and lost her house. Bob has been volunteering with them ever since he retired, we know the people well and completely trust not only their good intentions, but their also effectiveness and financial stewardship.
