Assisting victims of Hurricane Harvey

We are mobilizing volunteers on the ground, and I wanted to share with you some local resources and ways you can help those affected. Wherever you are and if you can, please donate to the Hurricane Harvey Community Relief Fund.

Resources:

  • If you or someone else needs a safe place to go, the latest list of shelters can be found here. You can also text your address to 346–214–0739 to find your nearest hurricane shelter.
  • You can find instructions on how to file flood insurance claims here.
  • For free legal assistance, contact the State Bar of Texas here.

How you can help if you’re in the Houston area:

  • You can sign up to volunteer as part of our team here.
  • This link has a map of Houston-area shelters. Click on a location to learn more about their volunteer and supply needs. Please contact them in advance to confirm.

Thanks for all of your help,

Alex
