Over the Fourth of July weekend, central Texas was inundated with the worst floods the U.S. has seen in decades. More than 80 people lost their lives as the Guadalupe River rose 26 feet in an under an hour after torrential rain — all before dawn.
People lost everything in a matter of minutes. The damage is widespread and the need is urgent. Homes over 100 miles away from the river are flooded. And more storms are on the way today.
Convoy of Hope is on the ground in the area, working with local partners to distribute relief supplies like food, water, cleaning kits, hygiene kits, and more to the thousands of people affected by this devastating storm.
When people receive help, they know they are not alone. They know people around the world care about them and what they’re going through. They have what they need to take care of their families and get back on their feet.
Donate today to help more families in need in Texas.

In the early hours of yesterday morning, campers and residents near the Guadalupe River in Texas were caught off guard by torrential rains and flash flooding. In just 45 minutes, the usually scenic river turned destructive, rising 26 feet and overtaking campsites, homes, and vehicles. The fast-moving waters killed at least 24 people. Search-and-rescue missions continued throughout the night last night and are still underway today to recover an unknown number of people still missing.
And the danger isn’t over. More heavy rains and flash flooding are expected today.
Convoy of Hope is en route to the affected area with team members and relief supplies. We’re working with local partners and first responders to meet the urgent needs of evacuees and survivors.
In moments like this, hope matters more than ever.
