Where to donate

Here goes, the RBG just destroyed me. I have donated about $300.00 to the DNC, and another $100.00 to my state Governor Race. Well right now I will pinch my budget for $1000.00, but where? DNC? Kentucky (against you know who), Biden direct? I know its not much, but it's all I can afford. I want it to make a difference. Normally this money would go to local agencies, such as food banks and shelters over the next few months. Yes there need is even more, but I think it may be better spent on political causes.

What my brain is trying to process on this donation.

Biden, already has a lot of cash.
DNC, I have no control or how they spend it (as in what I could consider not a good candidate, cause)
Kentucky, I still think she is close, but it Kentucky, the turtle will most likely win.

Should I spit it? say $500, here $500 there.

Is there a better place to spend it, more impact.

Last note I live in Missouri, so no Senate race this year, but our governor has to go.

Where to Donate Now

I also live in Missouri, and throwing in as much as I can for Galloway, but focusing on Biden/Harris, and those key Senate races. I'm gonna forgo some groceries and other discretionaries this month and next.
