Flash flooding devastates central Texas
In the early hours of July 4, heavy rains caused the Guadalupe River in central Texas to rise by 25 feet in minutes. As a result, catastrophic flash flooding swept through the Texas hill country, devastating everything in its path. As of July 7, at least 80 people have died, and still more remain missing.
The damage affects several counties in central Texas — a region with high levels of poverty and above average numbers of elderly adults and people with disabilities.
How your compassion is helping in Texas
The full scope of the damage is still unknown. What we do know is hundreds of families are in urgent need of basic supplies as they clean up, recover and navigate immense grief and loss.
In these early days, your compassion is providing Lutheran World Relief Quilts and Kits as well as distributing emergency food, water, tarps, clean up kits, hygiene supplies and clothing to people whose homes were damaged or destroyed.
LWR and our partners continue to assess needs and — with your generous support — will expand our response as we are able.
