As Texas families in the Hill Country continue to grapple with the aftermath of a devastating flood, a local elementary school has served first as a reunification center, and then as a supply depot.

Ingram Independent School District Interim Superintendent Mindy Curran spoke to Fox News Digital about the transformation Ingram Elementary School has undergone over just three days.

“On day one, we initially opened up Ingram Elementary as a reunification site for families looking for people, for our camps that were evacuating,” Curran said. “Every day it’s kind of evolved based on the needs that are happening in our community at the time.”

When asked how operations at Ingram Elementary School were able to get going quickly, Curran credited the community for its support.

“What’s really impressive is our community, and I knew it, but nothing tells you like when you have a situation where the community really needs to rally around and step up in a catastrophe like what we’ve had,” Curran said. “And their response has been just overwhelming.”

As she was speaking with Fox News Digital, a truck with a pallet of water bottles drove up to the school’s entrance. Curran pointed out that the people coming with supplies were from outside the local area and drove hours to get to Ingram Elementary School.

While she said that she could not speak to the immediate needs of impacted families, Curran said that the Ingram School District is being responsive and preparing for what comes next. Long after the floodwaters have receded and the spotlight is off of Kerr County, local families will need supplies, she said. And they’ll be waiting inside Ingram Elementary School.
