Google "donations for tornado victims in Mississippi." There's a NYT article with several links, and links at the Clarion Ledger (Jackson paper). I would be careful, but the links at those two sites should be good.

Here are a few links I found with info for giving/receiving aid, and info for reviewing charities.

https://www.redcross.org/local/al-ms.html

https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/25/us/how-to-give-or-receive-help-after-the-mississippi-tornado/index.html

https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/03/25/mississippi-arkansas-tornadoes-donations-help/

https://www.charitywatch.org/charity-donating-tips

https://www.directrelief.org/2019/05/how-to-help-after-a-tornado (did not see evidence of their working this event but thought the info could be useful)
