CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — It has been over a month since the Welder Fire destroyed multiple structures in Sinton and left many displaced.
Since then the community has seen an out pouring of support from organizations across the Coastal Bend.
One of those in particular is Steel Dynamics a steel producer located in Sinton.
Friday, the company made a massive donation to the city’s Fire Relief Fund, sticking to a promise they had made in the beginning.
“Steel Dynamics approached us and said if we started this Wildfire Relief Fund they would match up to a certain date, everything that was contributed and it was a great big effort on their part to be able to match these dollars,” said United Way of the Coastal Bend President and CEO Stephanie Jordan. “We had a lot of companies that donated from Corpus, Sinton, all over the Coastal Bend.”
That check donation Friday totaled $200,000.
