From living in Texas, to really help the locals, contact the community officer in an area sheriffs office (public safety offices, they call them) and ask where your help would be most helpful. They are on the front lines, and actually know where your gift might help. Consider gifting it to a nursing home (look them up online) as a fundraiser to help replace items lost by residents? Why go for a "charity" when they all have overhead to spend money on, when you can send all of your help where it is most useful?
