How to volunteer and donate in Comfort

Significant flood damage has struck the Comfort area along the Guadalupe River.  The Comfort Area Foundation, and the Greater Comfort and Boerne Chambers of Commerce have launched a coordinated relief effort to provide critical support to those most affected.

1. Donate to the Comfort Area Flood Relief Fund.  The Comfort Area Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3), has established the Comfort Area Flood Relief Fund to directly support families, ranchers, and businesses in flood-impacted areas of Kendall County.

WAYS TO DONATE:

~In Person: Drop off checks at any Texas branch of Broadway Bank, Frost Bank, or Wells Fargo.  Make checks payable to Comfort Area Foundation Flood Relief.

~By Mail: Comfort Area Foundation, Inc., P.O. Box 1182, Comfort, TX 78013

~Online: Visit: comfortfloodrelief.com to make a secure electronic donation.

2. Volunteer for upcoming cleanup and recovery efforts.  As official recovery operations continue, volunteers will soon be needed for the next phase – property cleanup and community restoration.  Teams will be organized based on skill sets, including chainsaw and tree removal teams, heavy debris removal crews, and light trash and general clean-up groups.

Due to active search and recovery operations and unsafe ground conditions, organized on-site volunteering will be scheduled as soon as state, local and federal resources complete their operations.  People can pre-register to be contacted when volunteer opportunities are available:
