DALLAS (July 17, 2026)<\/strong> \u2013 The Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Services (EDS) continues to expand disaster response operations across the Texas Hill Country as communities recover from widespread flooding. On Friday, Salvation Army teams provided meals, hydration, relief supplies and support to evacuees and first responders while additional personnel and resources were mobilized to meet growing needs across the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While floodwaters have begun to recede in some locations, state and local officials continue to warn residents that significant flooding threats remain. Gov. Greg Abbott announced a major disaster declaration for Uvalde and 27 additional counties as recovery efforts continue. Multiple rivers across South Texas remain at elevated levels, with the Nueces River reaching major flood stage. Residents in several communities are still being urged to remain vigilant as flood conditions evolve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many residents in Kerr County, including those in Kerrville, Ingram, Hunt and Center Point, are once again facing significant losses after rebuilding from the devastating flooding that impacted the region in July 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile we work to meet physical needs through food and hydration, we are equally committed to providing emotional and spiritual support,\u201d said Texas EDS Director Kathy Clark. \u201cThe Salvation Army is committed to walking alongside this community, providing practical assistance, spiritual support and hope during a very challenging time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Salvation Army’s San Antonio Full-Size Canteen has relocated to the Uvalde Fairplex evacuation shelter, where feeding and hydration services will continue throughout the coming week. An Incident Management Team is arriving in Uvalde to support expanding operations across the region, including mass feeding operations and a first responders respite center. Additional Salvation Army personnel and resources, including two Rapid Response Units and Emotional and Spiritual Care personnel, are traveling to Kerrville from across Texas to assist with response efforts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Kerr County, Salvation Army staff are preparing to distribute relief supplies to residents affected by the current flooding. Affected residents can visit Blue Ridge Warehouse at 124 Blueridge West in Kerrville from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 18. Feeding operations continue in Kerrville, Ingram and Uvalde as teams work closely with local emergency management officials and community partners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the response began, The Salvation Army has provided 1,431 meals<\/strong>, 879 drinks<\/strong> and 526 snacks<\/strong> to survivors and first responders. Teams have also distributed 50 cleanup kits<\/strong>, 406 cleaning supply items<\/strong> and 96 cases of water<\/strong> to support recovery efforts across the affected region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Financial donations remain the most effective way to support The Salvation Army’s ongoing disaster relief efforts. Donations can be made by calling 1-800-SAL-ARMY<\/strong> or by visiting helpsalvationarmy.org<\/strong>. One hundred percent of designated disaster donations will support relief efforts for individuals and families affected by the flooding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
