Our thoughts continue to be with those impacted by Tropical Storm Imelda.
After receiving a number of inquiries from citizens and companies who want to help,
Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner and Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo have established the Imelda Assistance Fund to meet the needs of those who have suffered damage during Tropical Storm Imelda and the flooding that followed.
The Imelda Assistance Fund is set up to take internet donations at this time. Community leaders will determine the disbursement of funds in the near future.
The effort between Mayor Turner and
Judge Hidalgo is in cooperation with the Greater Houston Community Foundation (GHCF), an organization with deep knowledge of the community and expertise in disaster relief charitable work. GHCF administered the Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund (HHRF) on behalf of the City of Houston and Harris County after Hurricane Harvey struck the region in August 2017.
