Certainly you could contribute financially - and that’d be very American of you (source: am an American). However, you’ll get much more value out of donating your time and contributing “boots on the ground”.
A friend and I were talking recently about this tendency to offload the work - a very capitalistic approach (source: am a capitalist) - but you get a different kind of return on investment being present for and aware of the needs of those physically around you. That ROI might be measured in terms of mental health.
