The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country announced a second round of flood relief grants in Kerr County following the deadly Fourth of July flooding.
The grants will help the community get back on its feet.
The foundation announced on Friday it has handed out more than $4-million dollars from the Kerr County Relief Fund. The largest at $1.2 million went to the Ingram School District to get classes ready for the start of the new school year.
Foundation CEO Austin Dixon said they've collected $60 million for flood relief.
"All of these donations have come from all over the country and some all over the world," he said. "We've tried to figure out through our legal counsel how to cash Canadian checks because we're getting support from far and wide."
"The largest donation that we received is a $5 million donation check, and we've also received check for $1 in the mail."
Dixon also told stories of getting donations from kids' lemonade stands. And he told the story about a woman who drove up in her beat-up vehicle to donate $25,000, money she had been saving for a new car for herself.
