Heavy rains have swelled the Guadalupe River in Texas, causing a deadly flash flood emergency. Six million residents are under urgent flash flood warnings just one year after the same river brought extreme flooding and tragedy to Central Texas families.  Residents are on high alert.

Our Disaster Relief team is delivering food, water, and essential cleanup supplies to affected families.  

Some communities are facing mandatory evacuation orders. Others are waiting in their homes, hoping the floods will not reach them.  

The National Weather Service warned that “large and deadly flood waves” are rapidly moving through the region, without signs of relenting. At one point, the waters rose more than 30 feet in a matter of hours. 

As the floodwaters recede, Convoy will remain — providing essential aid and reminding survivors they will not navigate this alone.
