Texans on Mission has deployed disaster relief volunteers to three sites in the Hill Country following severe flooding along the Guadalupe River.
During the week of July 16, floodwaters damaged or destroyed more than 490 homes and 100 businesses and claimed two lives. Water levels rose at least four feet higher than during the July 4, 2025, flooding event, reaching homes previously untouched by flooding.
Volunteers with Texans on Mission are assisting communities affected by the flooding as recovery efforts continue. Teams are already supporting communities in Kerrville, Comfort, and Uvalde, with a new response site being established in Boerne.
“We’ve deployed to three sites, and operations are already underway,” said Tim Miller, Texans on Mission associate director of communications. “Our teams … will be [setting] up a site in Boerne beginning today. Our Rebuild team in Kerrville has also stepped in to assist with disaster relief efforts. At this point, we’re anticipating a response lasting at least a month.”
Assessors have been on the ground, Miller said, with designations in progress for the flood recovery, shower and laundry, feeding, incident management, asset protection, box ministry, chaplain, and electrical and electronic support teams.
“We are also working closely with local churches, such as Trinity Baptist Church in Kerrville, First Baptist Church Boerne, and Baptist Temple Church in Uvalde,” Miller continued.
Trinity Baptist Church has housed Texans on Mission volunteers for a year, shortly following the massive July 4, 2025, flooding. The church continues to serve as a hub for recovery and community support efforts.
Previous recovery efforts paused
Texans on Mission is redirecting its resources to meet immediate recovery needs, temporarily pausing rebuild work that began in 2025. Miller said the organization’s teams are stepping in where they are needed most.
“Right now, we are pausing the rebuild work we have been continuing since 2025. Those teams have stepped in to help with current needs in the cities where we are working. We are committed as an organization to serve families for as long as recovery takes place.”
