Team,

Folks across Texas are still struggling to recover from the
winter storm that brought historic freezing temperatures, snow,
and ice to the state last week. Many homes are still without safe
drinking water and families are struggling to access food and
other necessary supplies.

Temperatures are rising, but the crisis is far from over.
Communities are just beginning to assess the damage wrought by
the unprecedented winter weather, with vulnerable populations
like the unhoused bearing the brunt of what will likely be a
long-term crisis and recovery period.

If you are able, please consider a donation to help our
neighbors in Texas recover from the storm:

* The Feeding Texas network of 21 food banks serves all 254
counties in Texas through over 3,000 local partners, feeding more
than 4 million Texans annually. Find a food bank here.

* Local mutual aid groups are mobilizing to provide neighbors
with food, bottled water, warm clothing and blankets, and more.
You can chip in via Venmo at these handles: @austinmutualaid
(Austin Mutual Aid), @feedthepeopledallas (Feed the People
Dallas), @pmgmutualaid (Para Mi Gente Mutual Aid in San Antonio),
@mutualaidhou (Mutual Aid Houston)

* The American Red Cross is supporting multiple warming centers
across the state and you can donate to support their disaster
relief efforts ( [link removed] ) . Local hospitals are also in need of blood donations. You can
sign up to give blood here if you are safe and in Texas.

* Local homeless organizations need support to help the unhoused
stay safe. The Coalition for the Homeless in Houston
( [link removed] ) and the Austin Area
Urban League ( [link removed] ) are seeking
donations and support.
