Volunteers say they’re so sorry for the lives lost and just want to be out in the community to support everyone.
CENTER POINT, Texas — We’ve seen so many examples of Texans coming together, and that was certainly the case on Friday. A group from San Antonio made their way to the Hill Country, bringing with them food and a whole lot of heart.
Water, Gatorade, cheeseburgers and more.
“We’re down over here, in the Hill Country, and we’re just trying to feed all the people who are involved in what has happened,” said a volunteer.
Volunteers say they’re so sorry for the lives lost and just want to be out in the community to support everyone.
“That’s what we do,” said one volunteer. “When your neighbors are in trouble, we get out there. We go, it’s what we do.”
And nobody is getting paid. Everyone is doing it for free.
Walmart has teamed up with relief groups to help flood victims in the Hill Country by offering free, much needed services.
They’ve set up a relief hub at the Walmart on Junction Highway in Kerrville.
People can get hot meals provided by Operation Barbecue Relief, take showers, and even do laundry… all at no cost.
Meals are served at 11 a.m.in the morning and 4 p.m. in the afternoon, and the hub will be open throughout the weekends.
In the wake of the flooding, there’s also help for anyone struggling emotionally.
Governor Abbott has announced a free, 24/7 support line staffed with trained counselors.
The number to call is (833) 812-2480, and it is confidential and won’t cost you a thing.
The state says this is for survivors, their families, and first responders, really anyone who needs support as they start to heal.
