GOLETA, Calif. - As search teams continue looking for survivors after the deadly flooding in central Texas, Direct Relief here in California is sending aid.

Direct Relief is working with local health centers, camps, and search and rescue groups to support the emergency response in Texas.

These partners include Texas Lions Camp and Raphael Community Free Clinic in Kerr County, as well as Lirios Pediatrics and Hope Medical Clinic in Travis County.

We supply regular medical aid to healthcare providers across the state, including in Kerr County.
