DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF)- A Missouri faith based organization is sending emergency supplies to Texas communities in need following the winter storms.
Convoy of Hope has deployed several tractor trailers full of water and emergency relief supplies to help affected communities around Dallas and Houston. Each truck can fit about 1,500 cases of water.
More than four million people are without power in Texas as a result of winter storms bringing record low temperatures to the south. Frozen pipes have burst across the state, and many cities are being forced to shut off the water altogether. Boil orders will be in place for weeks to come as water systems come back online, leaving millions of families without access to basic needs.
“Our partnerships with local churches and organizations are essential to our disaster relief efforts,” said Nick Wiersma, VP Disaster Services for Convoy of Hope. “They enable us to respond quickly in times of crisis, and provide aid to those who desperately need it.”
Convoy of Hope has also distributed more than 200 million meals in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. For more information, or to support Convoy of Hope’s Crisis Relief Fund click here.
