Bear Aid Response: Flash Flooding in Central Texas

On July 4, catastrophic flash floods swept across central Texas, causing death, injury, and displacement throughout multiple counties. As time passes and the magnitude of destruction continues to rise, our neighbors in central Texas need our support. 

BearAid disaster relief and the Department of Missions, Service & Public Life are packing disaster relief kits with the help of students, faculty and staff. 

Your donation will help provide those affected by the floods with the supplies they need. Funds will go toward purchasing supplies for kits. Each kit is valued at $75, and any monetary assistance is greatly appreciated.

Each kit will include:

• Five-gallon bucket
• Laundry detergent
• Household cleaner
• Dish soap
• Air freshener
• Insect repellent
• Scrub brush
• Reusable cleaning wipes
• Scouring pads
• Clothesline and clothespins
• Heavy-duty trash bags
