What they’re saying:
“For the past two weeks, we’ve been on the ground in the hardest-hit areas— walking through devastated neighborhoods, helping families clean up debris, and listening to their stories,” said Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale. “We’ve sent relief trucks with supplies, but more importantly, we’ve shared a simple message: We love you, we care about you, and we’re here to help.”
He added, “We’re incredibly grateful to our partners at Lago Vista High School for opening their doors and hearts to serve as our distribution site, and to the Lago Vista Police Department for their support. Their combined efforts are helping bring hope and healing to flood victims across the Austin Hill Country and beyond. This is what Texas is all about—neighbors showing up for neighbors in times of need.”
What you can do:
Gallery Furniture says that they are in need of volunteers to help with setup and to load mattresses into vehicles.
Volunteers will need to arrive at the school at 6 a.m.
