List of Organizations Helping with the Texas Floods:

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.

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."

To make a donation, call 1-800-SAL-ARMY or go to helpsalvationarmy.org.
