Texas image

Thank you so much for visiting our page and wanting to help.  As you can imagine, during times like these, the needs across our Central Texas community are great and ever-evolving. We will continue to update this page as needs change. The Junior League of Austin is heartbroken by the devastating flooding in central Texas, and the resulting loss and destruction. Our thoughts continue to be with the affected communities at this time. We stand in solidarity with the communities as they recover from this devastation. During moments of crisis, philanthropy serves a vital role in offering swift aid and helping communities rebuild over time.

Texans are strong and resilient, but the recovery ahead will require ongoing support. On behalf of the League, thank you for your generosity, compassion, and commitment to standing with our neighbors in this time of need.

Impacted Organizations

For those affected by this tragedy, The Junior League of Austin will provide an application soon for financial support. We will post updates as it becomes available. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

  • The Central Texas Community Foundation — supporting relief efforts in Williamson County. Donate here.
