The Better Business Bureau is reminding consumers to be cautious and do their research if they're looking to donate to help victims of the mass shooting in Buffalo, NY, or any disaster relief.

They say sometimes people set up well-meaning donation drives, then realize they don't have the resources to collect and distribute the money raised.

The BBB has a website resource where you can check out a charity's legitimacy.
