Where to Donate and Help Central Texas Flood Relief Efforts
Austin businesses and organizations mobilize to help Kerr County recover
Central Texas was devastated this weekend after heavy rainfall triggered flash floods across Kerr County and surrounding areas. The community is rallying to support rescue and recovery efforts and many Austin-area businesses are finding ways to help.
For those looking to contribute directly, the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund, created by the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country, is one of the most impactful options. The 501(c)(3) charity is directing donations to vetted organizations providing rescue, relief, and recovery services on the ground. Donations can be made online.
Several local businesses are also raising funds, collecting supplies, and pledging profits toward relief efforts.
