Devastating floods over the Independence Day weekend caused widespread damage throughout the Texas Hill Country, prompting an extensive volunteer relief response from several faith-based and community organizations.
At least 111 people died in the floods, including more than two dozen campers and counselors from Camp Mystic in Kerr County. Search and rescue operations continue as teams work to locate dozens of missing people.
On Tuesday, Major Phil Swyers of Salvation Army Kerrville told Fox News the organization has distributed more than 27,000 drinks and 4,000 meals since the flood. Swyers explained that “as the phases move from search and rescue … we will then begin to become long-term recovery where we are looking to assist people to try to get their lives back.”
Multiple organizations have joined the relief effort in the Kerrville area, including the American Red Cross, United Cajun Navy, TEXSAR, and Samaritan’s Purse.
