Texarkana, West Texas Volunteers Support Flood Recovery Efforts

Central Texas has faced severe flooding, leading to extensive recovery efforts involving thousands of volunteers and emergency teams coordinating to manage debris removal and search for missing persons. In Kerrville, the Texarkana non-profit Restoration of Hope is actively helping flood victims by cleaning debris and providing a path forward for both the community and the volunteers, many of whom are rebuilding their own lives through the program. Volunteers like Whitney Alexander from San Antonio have also joined the relief efforts, following guidance from local emergency services to assist affected homeowners directly. In West Texas, flash flooding in San Angelo triggered over 100 water rescues, with Samaritan’s Purse deploying more than 500 volunteers to help gut homes, remove debris, and offer spiritual support to survivors. Additionally, the organization EmergencyRV.org, led by Woody and Luna Faircloth, contributes by donating RVs to flood survivors who have lost their homes, providing critical temporary shelter. These collective efforts highlight the community’s resilience and the vital role of coordinated volunteerism in disaster recovery.
