Texas AgriLife organizes relief effort
During the July 4th weekend, Kerr County and much of the Texas Hill Country experienced catastrophic flash flooding that resulted in the tragic loss of life and extensive damage across our communities.
As they begin the long road to recovery, the outpouring of support from individuals near and far is deeply appreciated.
