Simpson Strong-Tie has donated $30,000 to the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund following the destructive floods in Texas on July 4. Kerr County was one of the hardest-hit areas around the Guadalupe River, where the unprecedented flash flooding has tragically claimed at least 120 lives with scores of others injured or missing.

Operated by the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country, a 501(c)(3) public charity, the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund is supporting relief efforts and long-term rebuilding in impacted communities, including Boerne, Hunt, Ingram, Kerrville, Center Point, and Comfort. The organization will be distributing grants to nonprofit organizations, first responder agencies and local governments actively involved in response, relief and recovery.

“We are devastated for the people of Texas, and our thoughts are with all the families who’ve lost loved ones,” said Simpson Strong-Tie President and CEO Mike Olosky. “As the region continues search-and-rescue efforts, begins to recover and looks ahead to rebuilding, we’re grateful to the local organizations supporting affected communities.”

Along with the initial donation, Simpson Strong-Tie is matching employee donations up to $5,000 per year.

This contribution reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to aid in disaster relief and recovery efforts around the world. To donate, visit communityfoundation.net.
