Roofing distributors are doing what they do best in response to the flooding in Central Texas — delivering supplies and support where they’re needed most.

During the Fourth of July weekend, heavy rains caused the Guadalupe River to flood, impacting areas like Kerr County, Texas. The flooding caused at least 132 deaths, including 36 children, and an estimated $18 billion to $22 billion in damage. On Monday, more rain exacerbated conditions in the region, which led to additional flooding due to the saturated soil.

Roofing distribution and home improvement companies are doing their part, providing everything from monetary donations to dropping off critical supplies.

McCoy’s Building Supply, which just broke ground for a new location in Texas, posted on social media to extend its condolences for those affected by the flood. The supplier urged those affected to visit the company’s San Angelo and Kerrville locations to receive free cleanup supply buckets packed with essentials like gloves and bleach.

“We’ll continue doing what we can to support those affected, and we’re keeping all of you in our thoughts during this difficult time,” the company said in a Facebook post.

In an email, SRS Distribution President Dan Tinker announced that the company had launched its “One Family, One Fight for Central Texas Flood Relief” initiative. Through the matching donation program, the goal is to reach $100,000 to provide essential resources, including meals, temporary housing and long-term relief.

“The recent catastrophic flooding in Kerr County and other parts of Central Texas has left countless families without homes, possessions, and a sense of stability. The devastation is unimaginable, and yet, through collective action, we can bring hope and relief to those affected,” Tinker said in the email.

QXO has donated supplies, including pallets of drinking water and contractor-grade trash bags. In the coming week, it will mobilize its trucks to help deliver critical supplies and will work with first responders and community members to continue cleanup efforts and coordinate supply deliveries.

QXO officials stated that they will also utilize the company’s employee assistance program, QXO Cares, a relief support fund that provides grants to employees facing unexpected financial hardships. The grants are given to those affected by emergencies like natural disasters or personal tragedies.

ABC Supply Co. Inc.'s Granbury, Texas location coordinated donation efforts to collect everything from search and rescue supplies like batteries and flashlights to cleaning supplies, hygiene items and food to provide to those in need.

The Home Depot, the acquirer of SRS Distribution, is also providing relief efforts to Central Texas. It has committed $250,000 and is working with nonprofit partners to deliver relief supplies, meals and other resources. 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’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.”

Other big-box retailers are chipping in as well. Lowe’s has pledged $500,000 to aid recovery and relief work, partnering with nonprofit organizations and first responders. In stores in San Angelo and Kerrville, Lowe's teams are handing out more than 500 "Bucket Brigade" kits packed with essential cleaning and recovery supplies like gloves, trash bags, cleaning agents and masks.

“We are connected to the community. The associates in the store live in the community and everyone here knows each other,” said Lowe’s District Manager over the region James Benne. “The community counts on Lowe’s to be there every day for basic needs and counts on us in times of need to step up and be a leader in the community.”
