It's never too late to help after a natural disaster like Superstorm Sandy. Every donation helps, no matter how small your contribution is. The people who suffer the consequences of these disasters need our help long after the news cameras leave the devastated areas. We've compiled a list of 13 ways you can contribute to the Sandy relief effort right now. <br><br> Click on the names of the organizations below to go directly to their websites. <br><br> <b><a href="http://www.redcross.org/hurricane-sandy" target="_b"> 1. American Red Cross</a></b> <br> The Red Cross continues to focus on reaching as many people as possible who need their help. Getting supplies, meals and water into affected areas is the top priority. Financial donations make the greatest and most immediate impact, helping the Red Cross provide shelter, food, emotional support and other assistance to those affected by disasters like Hurricane Sandy. <br><br> <b><a href="http://www.globalgiving.org/projects/hurricane-sandy-relief-fund/" target="_b">2. Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund</a></b> <br> Hurricane Sandy has caused massive destruction and dislocation along the East Coast of the United States and extensive flooding in the Caribbean. This fund supports relief efforts by organizations working in multiple locations, including the River Fund in New York, International Medical Corps in Haiti, and Save the Children across impacted areas, to provide emergency assistance to those in need. Specific project distributions will be communicated as allocations are made. <br><br> <b><a href="http://www.riverfund-ny.org/" target="_b">3. The River Fund New York</a></b> <br> For 18 of their 21 years, the River Fund New York has been operating the only mobile pantry program in New York City, taking care of extremely needy families in New York's most desperate communities. As a result of this depth of experience and well-practiced teams, they have been, in many instances, the first food providers to get into the areas hardest hit by Superstorm Sandy. Their mobile pantry operations get in and set up in minutes and begin serving substantial quantities of ready-to-eat foods. <br><br> <b><a href="http://www.kidsdonations.org/home.php" target="_b">4.

Fuel Relief Fund</a></b> <br> Fuel Relief Fund is a nonprofit charitable organization that provides free fuel immediately after a major disaster. They are currently deploying to the New Jersey coastline to provide free fuel for those in need. Primarily, the gas and diesel fuel will be given to individuals and other nonprofit agencies for use in generators and vehicles.
