At this past Sunday’s Member Meeting, we reported that over $530k has been given to Trinity’s Disaster Fund. Contributions have come from around the country from individuals, churches, and organizations. The Flood Recovery Ministry Team is leading Trinity’s efforts to steward this blessing. To date, almost $350k of those funds have been/are being given to assist recovery in Kerr County from the July 4th flood event.

 
Priority for assistance is to help individuals/households who have suffered damage or loss to their primary residence. This includes property owners and renters. So far, help has been aimed at giving the opportunity to start recovery. The team is now exploring the ability to increase assistance available to match needs for rebuilding.

 
During September, we will be gearing up to be a conduit for recovery funds available to our community. This will include application for local funds available to organizations. Your prayers are coveted during this time for wisdom and knowledge to navigate and administer assistance.

 
Recovery is a long-term effort. Starting on July 4th you, through church members and staff, were a part of search, relief and recovery efforts. Throughout the months of July and August, members have served thru their gifts and personalities to be the hands of Christ along the river. Together we will continue recovery efforts and partner with organizations like Texans on Missions and Mercy Chefs.
