The San Antonio-based Episcopal Diocese of West Texas is assessing how best to assist with long-term recovery efforts after July 4 floodwaters killed at least 138 people in the Texas Hill Country.
“There’s going to be a lot of rebuilding to do. There’s going to be a lot of counseling to do. There’s going to be a lot of need in the long haul financially,” West Texas Bishop David G. Read said in a phone interview. “Right now, we’re focusing on financial support and then we’ll partner with other agencies.”
The Diocese of West Texas has launched a donation webpage, as has Episcopal Relief & Development, and St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Kerrville, Texas.
