Home Depot Foundation Commits $250,000 to Texas Flood Disaster Relief
Flash floods claimed the lives of at least 85 people and caused at least $18 billion in damage

The Home Depot Foundation is committing $250,000 to support disaster relief efforts in communities impacted by the flash floods in central Texas.
Over the Independence Day weekend, slow-moving downpours unleashed more than a foot of rainfall along the Guadalupe River and parts of the Texas Hill County, triggering an extreme flash flood disaster that resulted in at least 85 deaths and caused an estimated $18 to $22 billion in damage. Among those lost are 27 campers and counselors at the Camp Mystic Christian summer camp, according to NPR.
The Foundation is working alongside its longstanding nonprofit partners, including World Central Kitchen, Convoy of Hope, Operation Blessing and Team Rubicon, to deliver critical relief supplies, meals and other resources to affected communities. Team Depot, The Home Depot’s associate volunteer force, is also identifying donations needed to support cleanup and other recovery efforts with local organizations.
“We are keeping everyone impacted by the floods in our thoughts and are committed to helping central Texas recover,” said Erin Izen, executive director of The Home Depot Foundation. “As waters recede, we’ll continue working with nonprofit partners on the ground to assess the full scope of damage and ensure needs are met.”
In response to the flash floods, The Home Depot is coordinating with its vendors and distribution centers to deliver essential supplies to stores located in the disaster zone, supporting both emergency response as well as recovery and clean-up efforts.
“We’re working with local fire departments and other emergency responders to ensure they have the supplies needed for recovery efforts,” said Jason Arigoni, vice president of field merchandising. “Our parking lots often serve as a base of operations for those supporting disaster response, and one is currently being utilized as an EMS ‘command post.’ Our stores that were most impacted are also working through Team Depot to ensure first responders have the support they need as they provide aid for their community members.”
The Home Depot Foundation’s total disaster response commitments in 2025 to nearly $9 million, building on more than $8.5 million granted earlier this year. The Homer Fund, The Home Depot’s employee assistance charity, is issuing emergency grants to associates impacted by the floods in urgent need of safe housing, clothing and food.
