The organizations responding to the July 2025 Kerrville flooding, and how you can help
On July 4, 2025, what began as a time of celebration turned into a tragedy for the Texas Hill Country. Torrential rains led to catastrophic flooding in Kerrville and surrounding areas, resulting in the loss of at least 119 lives and leaving over 180 people missing. The disaster has caused an estimated $18 billion in damages, marking it as one of the most devastating weather events in Texas history.
In the face of such adversity, several organizations have mobilized to provide critical aid and support to affected communities. Bonterra is proud to partner with these organizations and highlight their efforts. In times of crisis, the ability to respond swiftly and effectively is paramount. These nonprofits are coordinating volunteer efforts, managing donations, and communicating with stakeholders in real-time. Your continued support helps them drive impact when it matters most.
