Since July 5, the San Antonio Food Bank has provided food, hygiene products, and cleaning supplies to Kerrville as part of its flood relief efforts.
The Food Bank estimated that monetary donations in July were roughly double what they usually are.
Michael Guerra, the Food Bank's chief philanthropic officer, said that partnerships with Kerrville area non-profits are crucial its relief efforts.
“There's partners like Goodwill and Salvation Army," he explained. "So there's a lot of coordination that has to happen. And so the first days of response really are assessing, learning, listening and trying to avoid what could be the second disaster, and that's the wrong items donated in the wrong amount at the wrong time.”
The Food Bank estimated it could take a year to fully respond to the crisis.
