Donate to Community Foundation to support TX flood victims
TX and Colorado friends, by now you've certainly heard of the devastating floods in Kerr County this past week. It's been heartbreaking to learn of the loss
of so many precious lives. Words frankly are hard to come by as we process what has happened. The canyons, streams, and, most importantly, people of the Hill Country are near and dear to our hearts, and we want to do what we can to help our neighbors.
