Standing with Texas: Supporting flood victims and families
How you can support those impacted by the Texas floods
Our hearts are with the children, families, and communities across Texas affected by the recent devastating floods. At Manning Family Children’s, we stand in solidarity with them during this incredibly difficult time. In New Orleans—especially as we approach the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina—we know all too well what it feels like to lose everything. Our hearts go out to the families and communities in Texas facing the devastation of historic flooding. Manning Family Children’s is committed to helping financially by donating $5,000 toward relief efforts and supporting those families directly impacted by the flood. At the link below, you can contribute to increase that amount and collectively, Manning Family Children's will make a donation to The Community Foundation of Texas Hill Country and to Camp Mystic.
We are sharing resources to support relief efforts and provide assistance to those in need. Together, let’s continue to do what we know—support our kids and their families, no matter where they are. If you feel compelled, donate directly to an organization to support relief efforts.
