After the Flood: How San Antonio Restaurants and Businesses Are Stepping Up for Kerr County

This photo from the The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country illustrates the devastation caused by the July 4, 2025 floods.

In an area known for hospitality and tourism, our corner of the world has been rocked by the devastating and tragic Independence Day floods in the Texas Hill Country. Maybe you know someone who has been directly impacted or was among those who did not survive. The information is overwhelming, and you can’t help but feel the loss that the community is suffering. 

Countless volunteers, organizations and businesses have stepped up to help those in need. If you’ve already contributed in some way, thank you. If you’re looking for ways to support, we wanted to highlight a few of the businesses that we work with who are committed to helping their neighbors.
