Our county sheriff's office managed to fill up not one but four big trucks full of donated items. Home Depot donated a lot of bottled water. They are sending four police officers to TX to distribute the much-needed items.

The Georgia 4-H Foundation is also doing a fundraiser.

A painless way to give is to use the Charity Miles app. My chosen charity, Habitat fue Humanity, will be helping Texans rebuild their homes.

I am sorry I have not been able to get back to this thread. I have had a houseful since last Thursday. My daughter and her boyfriend and the dog evacuated. It is crazy but I am so glad they are here. San Antonio missed the burnt of the storm. We had wind and rain but nothing crazy. I have a friend on the coast thankfully she survived minimal damage.

As far as my daughters house in Houston goes we are not sure. From what the neighbor can see so far so good. There are no open grocery stores or gas available in their area on a regular basis though. When they go back they will stock up on non-perishable foods to take back. I know they are antsy to go back.

The biggest problem we are having in San Antonio is gas. There are lines for 2 miles to get it if a station has it. Hopefully that will settle down soon.

Cindy your boss is a true hero!
