How to Help Those Affected by the Paris Attacks

At least 129 people were killed in six terrorist attacks in Paris Friday night. Here are some ways you can help:

Donate to the Red Cross, which quickly mobilized volunteers.

Donate to local French charities, Secours Catholique-Caritas France and the French Secours Populaire, which both provide aid during emergencies in the country.

In the U.S. people are offering their homes to French nationals stranded after France’s borders closed and many flights were delayed with the social media hashtag #strandedinUS. In Paris, Parisians are opening their homes to those in need with the hashtag #PorteOuverte.
