(NewsNation) — Fast-moving floodwaters killed at least 120 people in central Texas over the Fourth of July holiday weekend, and dozens are still missing.
An early morning deluge of rain, nearly 12 inches, flowed through Texas’ Hill Country region and raised the Guadalupe River by 26 inches. The flooding inundated homes, covered roadways and trapped residents — including children attending summer camp in the area.
Here is a list of organizations assisting in the effort to help the Texas flooding victims.
Aerial Recovery
Aerial Recovery deploys veterans and first responders on a volunteer basis to hard-hit areas following natural disasters. According to its website, more than 200 people are arriving in Texas daily amid recovery efforts.
“We are one-third of the way through,” Jeremy Locke, Aerial Recovery’s cofounder, told NewsNation. “Cars are buried 10 feet under mud. Debris hanging 20 feet up in trees. And sadly, many are still missing.”
Monetary donations to the nonprofit helps its team “respond swiftly and effectively wherever lives are at risk, while also transforming the lives of struggling veterans and first responders through healing and a renewed purpose,” its website reads.
Agriculture relief
Texas Agricultural Commissioner Sid Miller told NewsNation that flooding has inundated farmland, destroyed facilities and swept away equipment and livestock.
To help Texas’ agriculturalists get back on their feet, Miller has activated his State of Texas Agriculture Relief Fund, which accepts monetary donations to assist farmers, ranchers, and agribusiness owners in rebuilding after a disaster.
Miller also emphasized the importance of the AgriStress Helpline, a 24/7 support line for those in the agricultural industry. After the flooding, that helpline is open to everyone, Miller said.
“We have people there around the clock, willing to help you get the resources you need,” he said. Those in need can call or text 833-897-2474.
American Red Cross
The American Red Cross has opened some of its central and southern Texas shelters following the flooding, according to local reporting.
Those wanting to make donations can visit RedCross.org or call 1-800-RED-CROSS (800-733-2767) to make a financial donation or schedule a blood donation appointment.
Austin Disaster Relief
Austin Disaster Relief, a network of churches that offer “physical, emotional, and spiritual support to disaster survivors,” is accepting both donations and volunteers.

The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country has set up a Kerr County Flood Relief Fund.
The nonprofit foundation will route any donations to vetted organizations aiding communities in Hunt, Ingram, Kerrville, Center Point and Comfort.
“While we are unable to award grants directly to individuals or families — or to fund repairs to private property or replace personal belongings — we are committed to channeling resources to the trusted organizations working tirelessly to help our neighbors in need,” the foundation page reads.
Donation drop-off locations
Several area businesses are serving as drop-off and pick-up spots for supplies.
The Brewtorium, Austin Flea Market, Commodore Perry Estate and Lucky Lab Coffee Co. are all accepting relief donations, including canned food, bottled water, hygiene products and pet products.
