Governor Greg Abbott participated in a check presentation event for families affected by the recent Hill Country floods. The event was organized with the Vaqueros del Mar Texas Flood Relief Fund and provided financial assistance to residents whose primary homes were damaged or destroyed. This marks the second time Governor Abbott has attended such an event to distribute aid directly to flood victims.
The relief funds distributed at this event were raised during last month’s “Strait to the Heart” benefit concert, which featured country music artist George Strait and Estancia Estates Founder Tom Cusick. The concert generated over $6 million in donations intended to support Texans impacted by the flooding.
“No one here is going to leave empty-handed to begin the process of rebuilding,” said Governor Abbott. “All of us are working together to ensure that we are building homes and rebuilding businesses at record pace. Our goal is to help you rebuild your lives as quickly as possible.”
Texas Division of Emergency Management Chief Nim Kidd and State Representative Wes Virdell joined Governor Abbott at the presentation.
Additional photos from the event will be made available when released.
