Texas Floods Kill 119, Massive Relief Effort Underway

News summary

Catastrophic flash floods in Central Texas, especially along the Guadalupe River in Kerrville, have resulted in at least 119 deaths and over 170 people missing, with widespread destruction to homes and community infrastructure. New major donors such as Ford Motor Co., its Texas dealers, and Ford Philanthropy have pledged $1.25 million and provided vehicles, while H-E-B and the Butt Family contributed $5 million, and James Avery donated $1 million to local relief. Relief efforts involve a coalition of corporations, nonprofits, faith groups, and grassroots organizations, including the Salvation Army, American Red Cross, Samaritan’s Purse, and Healthy Souls International, providing food, shelter, counseling, and cleanup support. Businesses such as AT&T are waiving service fees and matching employee donations. Volunteer groups and local restaurants are leading donation drives and collecting supplies for affected families across Texas and beyond. The ongoing coordinated response aims to address both immediate needs and long-term community recovery.
