Our hearts are with the families across Central and South Texas who are facing devastating losses due to the recent flooding. From Kerrville and Ingram to Marble Falls, Georgetown, San Angelo, and beyond, entire communities have been overwhelmed by this disaster, with many losing homes, schools, and basic resources they rely on every day, and, most unfortunately, in some cases, loved ones.
As West Texans, we understand the power of coming together in times of crisis. Here at PBTISD, we’d like to provide you with resources on how to support our fellow Texans with the strength, compassion, and generosity that define our community. Whether through a donated item, a case of bottled water, or a heartfelt prayer, every act of kindness matters.
Let’s stand together at PBTISD. Let’s show Texas what it means to be part of a community that never hesitates to help when it’s needed most. Here are several ways you can lend a helping hand:
