KERRVILLE, Texas (KXAN) — The Small Business Disaster Recovery Fair – aimed to share information and resources with flood-impacted business owners – will take place Thursday afternoon in Kerrville.
In Kerr County, 117 people were killed in the July 4 flash floods, including 37 children.
The goal of the event is to connect business owners with federal agency partners and resource providers to help them with acquiring available state and federal assistance.
Last week, The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country – which has raised around $100 million in donations for flood relief – announced a $40 million pledge to assist with housing-specific needs.
Some of the organization’s funds were also available to small businesses. The foundation functions by collecting donations and distributing money to vetted local nonprofits, which then distribute the funds directly to community members.
