Kerrville, Texas — The San Antonio Food Bank is actively responding to the flood recovery efforts in Kerr County, Texas, after severe flooding from the Guadalupe River devastated the community. The Food Bank has stepped in to provide essential emergency supplies to families affected by this natural disaster.
In response to the flooding, the Food Bank has distributed emergency food boxes, bottled water, hygiene kits, and cleaning supplies to assist families in immediate need. On a recent Saturday, around 450 families received aid at the Food Bank’s facility located on Old Historic Highway 90, marking a significant effort in addressing the pressing needs of the community.
To facilitate the distribution of these essential supplies, the Food Bank partnered with local organizations, notably the Kerrville Presbyterian Church. This partnership aims to ensure that food reaches those most in need in Kerr County. Additionally, the Food Bank is scheduled to host upcoming community distribution events on July 22 and July 28 at various locations throughout the county.
The demand for assistance has surged, with the Food Bank reporting an increase in the number of families seeking help. This trend is not limited to low-income households, indicating that many families across different economic strata have been impacted by the flooding. Chief Philanthropy Officer Michael Guerra emphasized the heartbreaking toll the flooding has taken on numerous families and the urgent need for ongoing support in recovery efforts.
As part of its commitment to flood relief, the Food Bank is also collaborating with organizations such as the Salvation Army by providing temporary storage for their donations. This collaboration enhances the relief efforts by streamlining the distribution of essential goods to families in need.
To sustain its operations and continue supporting relief efforts, the Food Bank has developed a list of “12 most wanted” items for donation. This list includes vital supplies such as baby food, diapers, canned goods, and pet food. Community members are encouraged to contribute by donating these essential items to help alleviate the hardships faced by local families.
As immediate crisis responses begin to taper off, the Food Bank is planning for long-term recovery efforts to support the community’s ongoing needs. Volunteers play a crucial role in managing distribution events and assisting families as they begin the recovery process. Their support is vital to ensuring that families receive the resources necessary for rebuilding their lives.
The Kerrville First United Methodist Church is also making a significant contribution to this relief effort by hosting megafood pantry events to serve families in need, ensuring that more households have access to essential supplies as they navigate through the aftermath of the flooding.
The San Antonio Food Bank’s distribution center remains open to accept donations, as the organization continues to adapt to the increasing demand for assistance in light of the recent floods. The focus of the Food Bank will be on sustainable support in the months following the disaster, recognizing that many outside organizations may withdraw their efforts as the immediate crisis subsides.
In summary, the San Antonio Food Bank is playing a critical role in aiding Kerr County’s recovery from devastating floods. Through its comprehensive response, the Food Bank is ensuring that affected families have access to vital resources and support during their time of need.
