Kerrville Area Flooding
District 5810 Disaster Response
 
 
Thank you all for your concern and willingness to support our fellow Rotarians, their families, friends and all those impacted by the ongoing crisis. As many of you know, the Guadalupe River has risen over 30 feet, well above its major flood stage, resulting in tragic loss of life and severe damage. Kerrville, home to two Rotary clubs, and the surrounding areas have been heavily impacted.
 
We now have an action plan, coordinated through District 5840, and it's time for all of us to ACT! 
 
Rotary District 5840 is now accepting tax-deductible donations through their 501(c)(3) Foundation to support urgent disaster relief efforts following the devastating flooding in Kerrville and nearby areas. 
Your generous contribution will:
  • Provide some immediate relief to affected families
  • Support local Rotarians in cleanup and rebuilding efforts
  • Fund long-term recovery solutions to affected communities
District 5840 is working hand-in-hand with the Rotary Clubs of Kerrville, who will provide ongoing guidance on how best to provide additional direct and in-person support, and when it will be safe for volunteers to mobilize, should you wish to volunteer in that capacity. A volunteer hotline will be available later this week.
