(Bob Hague, WRN) Do a little homework first, if you plan to donate to hurricane victims.

Lisa Schiller with Better Business Bureau Wisconsin says there are plenty of recommendations on donating. “I guess, if I had to narrow down the most important one, I would say know who you are giving to.”

She says it’s better to donate cash rather than items. “Donating money is really the quickest way to help, and it provides charities with the most flexibility to channel their resources to the impacted areas.”

Schiller recommends doing a little research if you’re planning to help with a charitable contribution. “You really have to understand and know who you are giving to, and that starts with doing a few minutes of research.”
