Lake Travis Community Rallies to Support Harvey Relief Efforts

Written by Cathy Hale | August 31, 2017

God bless the doers. The people who take action to help someone in need. Their actions may seem small or insignificant at first, but in the long run, they are truly meaningful. Lucky for us we live in Lake Travis — a community full of doers who genuinely love their fellow Texans.

As of writing this article, our community has family members and friends who are still stranded in flooded homes, hoping and praying that the water recedes. Beloved beach homes in Port Aransas and Rockport are smashed to pieces. Loved ones are missing and their families are frantically trying to find them. And the sad stories continue to emerge.

But instead of being paralyzed by hopelessness, Texans are coming together to ease the pain and provide relief for families (and animals) in need. Today we’ve got a roundup of local residents and businesses who are making a difference.
