Humana Foundation Responds to Central Texas Flood Tragedy with $500,000 in Recovery Support
The catastrophic flooding has claimed the lives of at least 109 individuals, including 28 children. Among those still missing are several campers and a counselor from Camp Mystic which sits along the banks of the Guadalupe River in Kerr County. Communities across the Texas Hill Country are reeling from the destruction, with emergency responders and volunteers working tirelessly to find the missing and provide relief.
In response, the Humana Foundation is directing $150,000 to the Community Foundation of the Texas Hills Country to support the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund, $100,000 to Children's Bereavement Center of South Texas, $100,000 to Center for Disaster Philanthropy, and $150,000 to San Antonio Food Bank.
'Our hearts are torn by the depth of this unimaginable tragedy,' said Tiffany Benjamin, CEO of the Humana Foundation. 'The pain and loss felt across Central Texas are profound, and we grieve alongside every family and community affected. Though it's hard to look ahead to recovery in the face of such overwhelming loss, we remain unwavering in our commitment to help ensure that critical support is available for those who need it.'
Humana employees, deeply moved by this devastating crisis, are also responding with compassion through a company-wide giving effort. Their collective support will be directed to trusted nonprofit partners including the American Red Cross, World Central Kitchen Incorporated, The Salvation Army Texas via The Salvation Army, Southern Territory, and Kerr County Flood Relief Fund via the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country Inc.
