Central Texas and Texas Hill Country Flood Relief Information    
Saturday, July 5, 2025 | Author: Texas FFA News
 

When one Texas community hurts, we all step up. Let’s show the Hill Country  that Texas FFA stands with them.

Over the past several days, we’ve struggled to understand why tragedies like this happen. We have prayed over our Hill Country neighbors and mourned the loss of precious, innocent lives. Yet in the midst of heartbreak, we’ve also witnessed the very best of what makes Texas so special—communities coming together, neighbors helping neighbors, and people showing up with compassion and strength. In these moments, we are reminded that while we may have seen the worst of nature, we are also seeing the very best of humanity.

The Texas FFA family is deeply saddened by the devastating flooding in the Hill Country. Our prayers and thoughts are with the communities facing unimaginable loss, and we are especially mindful of the families whose lives have been forever impacted. In this difficult time, we stand with all who are grieving and extend our gratitude to the first responders and neighbors offering hope and help. Please know that you are not alone; your Texas FFA family is lifting you up with compassion, care, and unwavering support. We have compiled a list of way that you can help below. Please email txffa@texasffa.org if you have additions to this list.
