Wherever you go right now, businesses are getting on board to do what they can to help. When I used the self checkout at the store today, I was asked if I wanted to donate to hurricane relief. Even the major TV networks are donating time to a mini telethon. Stephen Colbert mentioned it the other night - and both he and Trevor Noah - and I know I've seen others - have suggested places to donate. The network(s) telethon is next Tuesday:
