When disaster strikes, the best of humanity often rises with it. Texas communities have shown their strength in the wake of the recent devastating floods, coming together in the face of tragedy.From emergency shelters to supply drives to clean-up crews, everyday people are showing up for each other in extraordinary ways.

At SignUpGenius, we’ve seen how powerful it can be when people rally around those in need — and we’re honored to be even a small part of how communities organize help. In response to the flooding, we’ve donated to the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country to support local response, relief, and recovery efforts, and are committed to amplifying the organizations and volunteers providing boots-on-the-ground care.

Meeting Urgent Needs

In the aftermath of natural disasters, quick coordination is everything. Whether it’s setting up meal trains for displaced families, organizing volunteers for clean-up days, or collecting donations, thousands turn to online tools like SignUpGenius to bring order to the chaos.

Here are a few ways organizers are using our platform right now:

  • Scheduling volunteer shifts at temporary shelters
  • Coordinating donation drop-offs for hygiene and household items
  • Planning meal support for first responders and affected families

If you're looking for ways to help, we recommend checking with your local relief organizations or community centers. Below are some national and Texas-based nonprofits providing vital support:

We know recovery doesn’t happen overnight ,and we’ll continue to look for ways to support those impacted by the Texas flooding - both through our tools and through giving.

To the volunteers, organizers, and helpers: thank you for showing us what resilience and compassion look like. We’re here to support you, however we can.
