All Within My Hands is granting $100,000 to flood relief efforts in Texas through longtime Foundation partners providing emergency relief: Direct Relief and World Central Kitchen, both of which were included in Forbes’ 2024 Top 100 Charities list.
On July 4, intense rainfall hit the Texas Hill Country, causing catastrophic flash flooding, ravaging communities, and leaving residents stranded. Between 4 AM and 6 AM, the Guadalupe River surged to an astonishing 29 feet in some areas, reaching its second-highest level on record. In the days since the disaster, local officials have confirmed 121 deaths. At least 150 people are missing in Kerr County alone. These numbers are expected to grow as rescue teams execute thorough searches along the 60 miles of river.

Direct Relief’s commitment to the people of Texas remains unwavering. The organization was there before the floods and is there now responding alongside local partners. Direct Relief’s immediate response included a $50,000 commitment to support the rapid deployment of emergency medical supplies and operating funds to impacted communities. The organization is actively coordinating with healthcare providers and emergency response partners across the state, ensuring support reaches those most affected. Direct Relief has also made its $90 million inventory of medical supplies available to support healthcare facilities responding to the disaster. This includes prescription medications, field medic packs for first responders, personal care items for displaced individuals, emergency medical backpacks, chronic disease treatments such as insulin and inhalers, and other essential items needed in the wake of a large-scale emergency. AWMH is granting a matching $50,000 to Direct Relief’s emergency operating fund.

In times of crisis, community matters more than ever. All Within My Hands is proud to support World Central Kitchen in their mission to provide fresh meals to those affected by disasters, such as the devastating floods in Texas. Within hours of rescue operations beginning in the Texas Hill Country, World Central Kitchen mobilized to deliver meals to families and first responders across the region. Since July 4, WCK has worked alongside local chefs and community leaters to serve thousands of meals, reaching children and staff at summer camps that were then safely evacuated, families at reunification centers and hotels where evacuees were gathering to reconnect with loved ones, and rescue crews and grieving families at disaster sites and search zones. By collaborating with local partners, including rescue teams, WCK delivers food directly to the people who need it most—quickly, efficiently, and with care. At food distribution sites, WCK teams provide nutrient-rich meals and hydration to fuel search crews’ nonstop efforts as they continue working in dangerous and emotionally taxing conditions. AWMH is granting $50,000 to World Central Kitchen’s relief efforts in Texas.
