Conglomerate Thread of Charities/Other Ways to Help Refugees

I have stuff all over the place &want to bring it together. Even my Giant Thread of WAYS TO MITIGATE the #FakeTrumpEmergency has lots of political action-on-the-wall & non-immigrant specific items, which is great, but.
1. Annunciation House

This charity in El Paso gives shelter, food, clothing, hygiene products, bus tickets, etc., to 1000s of refugee families released by CBP, to help get them over the next few days and then on to family they have in the United States. https://annunciationhouse.org/financial-donations/
2. Borderland Rainbow Center

Also El Paso based, @BRainbowCenter, assists the thousands of immigrants dumped on the bus station's doorstep with no food, money, clothing or anywhere to stay. They have NEEDS! https://www.borderlandrainbow.org/ 
4. Catholic Charities of Rio Grande Valley

They also have a shelter they run in Corpus Christi, and accept donations in kind, via amazon wishlist or in person.

"RAICES is the largest immigration legal services non-profit in Texas, focusing on under-served immigrant children, families and refugees."

They have in kind donation drives, but also appreciate cash donations:
