I donated to AmeriCares after the hurricane hit Puerto Rico and never got solicitations from any other charity. Red Cross is of the worst for % of dollars received actually getting to the people you're trying to help. Donate blood there, but find a better run charity for other things. Oxfam is a good international one.
Run any charity through the web site Charity Navigator before donating. They rate charities as to how well they're run and what percentage of your dollars actually gets to the people.
