In the aftermath of the devastating floods that have impacted our beloved hill country, we want to update you on our ongoing support efforts for the victims. We are truly grateful for the overwhelming outpouring of support we've received. Just this past weekend, your generous donations totaled $600 in addition to a pile of items that were brought in!
If you haven't had a chance to contribute yet, consider joining us in raising funds to support our first responders who are tirelessly working on the front lines. They not only need our appreciation, but also essential supplies that help them continue providing vital assistance during this disaster.
What We Are Doing
CFC is focused on providing immediate relief and ongoing support to the flood victims in our area. We have been working hard to mobilize resources to gather and distribute necessary supplies. However, the needs are constant and growing. With your help, we aim to be a blessing to the first responders so they can access essential items during these tough times and provide items that are urrently needed to the hill country community.
The Updated Needs List
To extend our support effectively, we’ve updated our needs list. Here’s what we are currently seeking:
Hygiene Items
The following hygiene products can greatly improve comfort for individuals trying to rebuild their lives:
Toothbrushes and Toothpaste
Mouthwash
Hairbrushes and Hair Ties
Detangling Spray
Body Wash, Shampoo, and Conditioner
Deodorant
Face and Hand Wipes
Hand Sanitizer
Women’s Sanitary Products
While these items may seem small, they provide a sense of normalcy to individuals who have lost everything.
Clothing and Essentials
We are also in urgent need of clothing and other essential items such as:
New or gently used clothing of all sizes
New or gently used shoes and socks of all sizes
Diapers and Pull-Ups
Wipes, Towels, and Blankets
Bedding
These items are crucial for those displaced by the floods. For example, families who lost their homes often rely on secondhand clothing, so your donations can help them maintain dignity amid chaos.
Food and Beverages
We are collecting:
Pre-packaged snacks
Meals
Bottled water
Pet Supplies
Let’s not forget about our furry companions. We need contributions of:
Dog and cat food
Fundraising for First Responders
In addition to collecting physical items, we are raising funds to purchase gift cards for our first responders. These heroes often work long hours away from their command centers and need meals and refreshments. Your donations will directly support their needs. For example, $50 can provide several meals for a first responder, allowing them to stay focused on the essential work they are doing.
