"Superstorm Sandy has impacted the lives of millions in the northeastern U.S. and Caribbean, as the largest-diameter Atlantic hurricane on record hit land between Oct. 24 and Oct. 30. \nIf you're looking for ways to help the millions of people across the Eastern Seaboard and Northeast who were injured, whose homes were damaged and who are awaiting the return of power, cable and water, we've rounded up some great options.\nMashable has highlighted seven organizations running campaigns that help those affected by the Frankenstorm. Have you heard of other non-profits or online campaigns raising money to help the victims? Let us know in the comments if we've missed a worthy cause.\n\nThe Red Cross: If you would like to give to the Red Cross, which has opened more than 190 shelters along the East Coast and has hundreds of disaster relief workers on standby, you can donate online, by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS, or by texting the word REDCROSS to 90999 to give $10. The Red Cross is also seeking blood and platelet donations. To learn more, visit RedCrossBlood.org.\nThe Salvation Army: You can donate $10 to the Salvation Army by texting \"STORM\" to 80888. If you are already volunteer-certified, you can sign up to help out with disaster relief. \nAmeriCares: You can donate to AmeriCares' relief fund to help the organization, which is distributing supplies to 130 clinics in the 13 states affected by Sandy. \nWorld Vision: Despite flooding at its Bronx, N.Y. warehouse, World Vision is organizing relief efforts. You can text \"GIVEUSA\" to 777444 to make a $10 donation, or donate online to help. \nOperation USA: If you would like your donations to go to efforts abroad, Operation USA is helping victims in Haiti and Cuba, who were also deeply affected by the storm.
