- Check on your neighbors: A simple call or visit can go a long way, especially for elderly residents or those with limited mobility.
Every Act of Kindness Counts
In times like these, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the scale of the damage, but don’t underestimate the power of community. Whether it’s a donation, a shared post, or a helping hand, every gesture adds up. Central Texans are strong, but together, we’re even stronger.
If you know of additional resources or support efforts, we’d love to hear from you.
