Hunt Preservation Society launches Hunt Flood Recovery Fund

The Hunt Preservation Society (HPS) has launched the Hunt Flood Recovery Fund, which is dedicated to rebuilding the Hunt community following the recent July 4 floods.  For the first time in its history, HPS is asking for outside donations and has established this new fund to focus specifically on the Hunt community.

The Hunt Flood Recovery Information Event is scheduled for Wednesday, July 23, from 2-6p.m. at the Hunt School, 115 School Road in Hunt.  The event has been organized to make it as easy as possible for residents of Hunt impacted by the flood to get all the information they need to start the recovery process.  Representatives from many organizations that can help will be there.  Relief funds are also available for those who reside within the Hunt ISD boundaries.  Make sure that you bring some form of proof of address.

“The CAC has two immediate priorities.  We will support displaced Hunt-area families with young children and the elderly who have suffered greatly and lack adequate insurance or access to FEMA assistance.  We aim to get families settled before the start of the school year.  Second, we are focused on repairing and restoring critical infrastructure through the community,” said John Dunn, HPS Board Member, who is leading the Hunt recovery efforts within HPS.
