Hurricane Harvey relief efforts are popping up all around. Here are two set for Wednesday. If you know of anything else, please leave a comment or send me an email.

-The Grey Eagle is organizing a fundraising concert for Hurricane Harvey relief. The concert is scheduled for 6-11 p.m. on Wednesday. So far, the line-up includes Amanda Anne Platt and The Honeycutters and singer-songwriters Jane Kramer and Dave Desmelik. More details to come.

-Diamond Brand and Frugal Backpacker on Wednesday is donating 10 percent of sales from all three store locations to the Houston Food Bank and the Houston Humane Society, according to a press release. Customers will also have the option of donating directly to these organizations at checkout. Diamond Brand Outdoors donates 10 percent of a day’s sales each month to a local nonprofit through a program it calls Diamond Brand Outdoors for More. Through this program and other community support, Diamond Brand Outdoors and Frugal Backpacker have supported 29 organizations with more than $41,000 through August 3.
