In the months since Central Texas faced devastating floods, Texas Federations, their communities, and YOU, stepped forward with generosity, compassion, and unwavering support.

Your gifts to the Flood Relief Campaign brought immediate relief to those who lost homes, belongings, and stability — and your kindness continues to help families and individuals rebuild. We’re pleased to share the Flood Relief Impact Report, which outlines how your contributions were allocated and the difference it made on the ground.

Here are just a few testimonials from those you helped:

• “We’ve witnessed homes swept from their foundations and families clinging to survival — and yet, we’ve also seen the strength of community and the healing power of compassion. Because of you, we’re not just delivering supplies — we’re delivering hope.” – Kendra Cofer, Founder of L4 Cares

 

• “The Department of Emergency Health Sciences (EHS) has been able to pivot from crisis to care by facilitating the delivery of mental health tools to first responders in the KFD [Kerrville Fire Department]. This support enables them to access behavioral health resources through an app customized to meet their needs.” – Jeffrey Rollman, EHS faculty, UT Health San Antonio

 

• “We are the humanitarian arm of Jewish communities around the world, providing aid to all people, guided by the Jewish value of tikkun olam, repairing the world. Just days after the floods in Central Texas, we deployed our search and rescue team to support those affected in any way we could. Thanks to the generous grant from the Shalom Austin Flood Relief Campaign, we are now able to return and continue helping with the vital work of reconstruction and rebuilding.”  – Iris Epschtein, International Communications Director, CADENA
