Support for Long-Term Recovery

Central Texas, and Kerr County in particular, endured devastating damage when torrential rains pushed the Guadalupe River over its banks. As of mid-July, the storm had claimed at least 96 lives and left more than 160 people missing. With a federal disaster declaration in place, recovery efforts remain ongoing.

“We’ve seen an incredible outpouring of generosity in the days since the flood, and we so appreciate that spirit of giving,” said Austin Dickson, CEO of the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country. “Recovery doesn’t happen quickly, and for many, the path forward feels uncertain. That’s why sustained collaboration and commitment are so important. We are proud to work alongside so many local partners to ensure help reaches individuals, families and small businesses, not just today, but in the months to come.”
