How to Help Those Impacted by the Kerr County Flooding

We are absolutely devastated by the tragic flooding in Kerr County over July 4th. We are heartbroken for all of the losses, including multiple Houstonians, and hold hope that those who are missing will be found safe. Many neighbors have deep connections to the area, including Camp Mystic, or have friends or family members impacted by the catastrophic floods. 

Family members seeking information about individuals missing in the flood event can call 830-258-1111 or email [email protected].
Below are some ways our community can help.

We will be updating this list as we hear of more ways to help those impacted. If you hear of other ways to help, please comment below or email [email protected].
