Dallas, Texas (July 6, 2025) – Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Services (EDS) teams are working around the clock to provide meals, hydration and Emotional and Spiritual Care (ESC) in Central Texas communities affected by devastating flooding. Rain is forecast to continue Sunday in areas already overwhelmed with flooding after the Guadelupe River crested with historic levels of waterflow.
Local officials have confirmed more than 50 fatalities in Kerr County as a result of the raging floodwater that struck in the early hours of July 4, with multiple individuals still reported missing. Search and rescue is ongoing as roads are steadily being cleared and the river level slowly recedes.
“The Salvation Army is currently serving in the affected communities of Hunt, Ingram, and Kerrville. We have three fully stocked mobile feeding units that began Saturday morning serving survivors at emergency shelters in Kerrville,” said Major Phil Swyers, with The Salvation Army in Kerrville. “However, when word was received that the road to Hunt was reopened, we sent the two units from San Antonio to serve impacted residents in that city which had been cut off since Friday.”
