SAN ANTONIO – Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of San Antonio is asking for community support as it continues flood relief efforts following what it called “recent devastating storms.”

The organization said its teams are providing emergency supplies, case management and hygiene supplies to people impacted by flooding. Catholic Charities said that as soon as travel conditions were deemed safe last Thursday, staff began transporting emergency supplies to affected communities using its Rapid Response Unit, which includes a box truck, a pickup truck and a passenger van.

Catholic Charities said teams have delivered cots, blankets, tarps, cleaning supplies, food and other essential items to provide immediate relief. The organization also deployed a mobile shower truck to provide access to showers and basic hygiene services.

On Friday, Catholic Charities said response efforts expanded to serve additional communities, with staff providing case management, emergency supplies and food assistance. Teams are continuing to work toward reaching communities along Highway 90 as conditions permit, the organization said.

“Our hearts go out to everyone affected by this devastating flooding. We are committed to providing immediate and ongoing support to help our communities recover,” said Ada Saenz, CEO/president of Catholic Charities, Archdiocese of San Antonio, Inc. “But we cannot do this alone the generosity and involvement of our community members play a crucial role in our relief efforts. Every donation makes a meaningful difference in helping families rebuild their lives.”
