TEXAS – In the wake of catastrophic flooding that has overwhelmed vast areas of Texas, Operation Blessing is on the ground, providing essential relief and support to affected residents. The relentless rain, which some authorities say has been worse than Hurricane Harvey, has turned streets into rivers, submerging vehicles and homes and leaving families in desperate need of assistance.
Partnering with Local Churches for Texas Flood Relief
Operation Blessing has partnered with Hi-Way Tabernacle Church in Cleveland, Texas, to distribute more than 14 tons of critical relief supplies, including emergency meal kits, clean water, and home cleanup buckets. Pastor Stokes of Hi-Way Tabernacle Church has witnessed the devastation firsthand. “It was horrible,” he said. “The waters began to go up—record highs, way above Hurricane Harvey. We started getting heavy rain here, and the water had nowhere to go, and homes were being flooded; people couldn’t get out.”
Providing Emergency Supplies and Assessing Further Needs
In addition to providing emergency supplies, Operation Blessing staff are assessing the needs of the affected communities to determine where else they can help. Pastor Stokes emphasized the importance of the relief efforts, saying, “We’ve got meals to get them by for a few days, water for a few days, and supplies to clean for a few days, and then they’ll come back.”
The Impact of Compassionate Giving
The support of compassionate friends like you is making a significant difference in the lives of those affected by the Texas floods. Pastor Stokes expressed his gratitude, stating, “Your gift is working directly with people that are standing there wondering ‘how do I rebuild my life?’ So, God bless you as you donate and sow seed and give—it’s touching the lives of people who will see Christ in that gift.”
