Thanks to Kami for pointing me to her post about the how the Red Cross is using social media to communicate with victims, donors, etc. about the California wildfires. I just added their Twitter account to my list of people to follow and I added their news widget to the righthand sidebar of my page (see it over there?).

Kami's post details how you can donate via text from your phone, one of my favorite features of technology. Smile, dial and donate.
