How to help Texas flood survivors
Share and Follow

() Fast-moving floodwaters killed more than 80 people in central Texas over the Fourth of July holiday weekend, and dozens were still missing Monday.

An early morning deluge of rain, nearly 12 inches, flowed through Texas’ Hill Country region and raised the Guadalupe River by 26 inches. The flooding inundated homes, covered roadways and trapped residents including children attending summer camp in the area.

Here is a list of organizations assisting in the effort to help the Texas flooding victims.

American Red Cross

The American Red Cross has opened some of its central and southern Texas shelters following the flooding, according to local reporting.

Those wanting to make donations can visit RedCross.org or call 1-800-RED-CROSS (800-733-2767) to make a financial donation or schedule a blood donation appointment.

Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country

The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country has set up a Kerr County Flood Relief Fund.

The nonprofit foundation will route any donations to vetted organizations aiding communities in Hunt, Ingram, Kerrville, Center Point and Comfort.

“While we are unable to award grants directly to individuals or families or to fund repairs to private property or replace personal belongings we are committed to channeling resources to the trusted organizations working tirelessly to help our neighbors in need,” the foundation page reads.

GoFundMe

Crowdfunding platform GoFundMe has an ongoing list of verified campaigns out of central Texas.

The Salvation Army

The Salvation Army said it has served 1,700 meals and more than 10,000 drinks to those affected by flooding in the area. The organization is also working to distribute hygiene kits, blankets and other essential items.

“The Salvation Army is currently serving in the affected communities of Hunt, Ingram and Kerrville. We have three fully stocked mobile feeding units that began Saturday morning serving survivors at emergency shelters in Kerrville,” said Major Phil Swyers, with the Salvation Army in Kerrville. 

To make a donation, call 1-800-SAL-ARMY or go to helpsalvationarmy.org. 

World Central Kitchen

The World Central Kitchen is asking for donations to continue providing fresh food to flood survivors.

Volunteer with FEMA

For those looking to help on the ground, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has a voluntary agency liaison program to “build relationships and coordinate efforts with voluntary, faith-based and community organizations active in disasters.”

Can’t volunteer? FEMA also takes donations of essential items, though it does not recommend donating your used clothing. Click here for more information.
