Samaritan's Purse Responding to Deadly Floods in Texas Samaritan's Purse Is Deploying Staff And Equipment to flood-wracked Kerr County, Texas. Our teams have been on the ground since Saturday, working with local emergency management and church partners to see how we can best help these deeply hurting communities.

Austin Pets Alive!
Nonprofit pet shelter Austin Pets Alive! said it has saved more than 150 pets from flooded areas. The organization has coordinated search and rescue groups working along riverbanks to find animals and is taking donations for pet supplies.

Monetary donations are preferred, the organization said.

Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country
The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country has set up a Kerr County Flood Relief Fund.

The nonprofit foundation will route any donations to vetted organizations aiding communities in Hunt, Ingram, Kerrville, Center Point and Comfort.

"While we are unable to award grants directly to individuals or families—or to fund repairs to private property or replace personal belongings—we are committed to channeling resources to the trusted organizations working tirelessly to help our neighbors in need," the foundation page reads.

GoFundMe
Crowdfunding platform GoFundMe has an ongoing list of verified campaigns out of central Texas.

TEXSAR
Texas Search and Rescue is asking for donations to deploy volunteers, swift-water teams, boats, drones, K-9s and more.

"More members continue to arrive as others phase out and return to their 'regular' lives," TEXSAR said. "As the waters recede, there are more debris fields to go over. This is going to be a continuing, long-term response."

American Red Cross

The American Red Cross has opened some of its central and southern Texas shelters following the flooding, according to local reporting.

Those wanting to make donations can visit RedCross.org or call 1-800-RED-CROSS (800-733-2767) to make a financial donation or schedule a blood donation appointment.

The Salvation Army
The Salvation Army said it has served 1,700 meals and more than 10,000 drinks to those affected by flooding in the area. The organization is also working to distribute hygiene kits, blankets and other essential items.

"The Salvation Army is currently serving in the affected communities of Hunt, Ingram, and Kerrville. We have three fully stocked mobile feeding units that began Saturday morning serving survivors at emergency shelters in Kerrville," said Major Phil Swyers, with the Salvation Army in Kerrville. To make a donation, call 1-800-SAL-ARMY or go to helpsalvationarmy.org.

Operation BBQ Relief
Operation BBQ Relief is cooking up hot meals for first responders and displaced residents in Texas. Donations will help fund more food for victims.

According to the organization, a $25 donation provides four meals. Volunteer positions are also available.

World Central Kitchen
The World Central Kitchen is asking for donations to continue providing fresh food to flood survivors.

Volunteer with FEMA
For those looking to help on the ground, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has a voluntary agency liaison program to "build relationships and coordinate efforts with voluntary, faith-based and community organizations active in disasters."  Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
