Throughout our lives, people will drift in and out for a number of reasons. In times of need, sometimes reconnecting with someone from the past can help heal the present. You never know who may need someone to #TurnTo. TurnToSupportsTX.org

We are pleased to announce that power has been restored at our senior housing properties in the Houston area. Our residents, clients, and staff members are all doing well. We are incredibly grateful to our team members who ensured the safety and comfort of everyone by keeping coolers stocked with food, ice, and beverages. Special thanks to those who donated generators, allowing our community rooms to serve as gathering spots where people could charge their devices and stay cool.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl, our VOA Texas team showed incredible resilience. Despite facing personal hardships, they worked tirelessly to ensure our senior housing sites remained stocked with essentials. Their actions embody our mission to “go wherever we are needed and do whatever comes to hand.” As shown in these photos, our offices sustained extensive damage, highlighting the long road to recovery ahead. With your support, we can rebuild and continue serving those in need. Donate here > https://bit.ly/3WeS6WR Thank you for standing with us.

Thanks to your generosity, we've raised nearly $10,000 and secured generators for our senior housing communities, keeping residents safe. The Houston Mayor's office and FEMA have shown strong support, and our staff is working tirelessly around the clock, stocking food, ice, and beverages as many of them remain without power in their own homes. However, 120 residents and VOA Texas staff remain without power. The situation is critical with limited access to essentials and a thunderstorm threatening the area this weekend. We urgently need your help. Any contribution, no matter how small, makes a big difference. Donate > https://bit.ly/3WeS6WR #HurricaneBeryl #DisasterRelief #VOATexas

Hurricane Beryl has left several communities in distress, with many residents without power and essential services. Nearly 500 people served by VOA Texas and staff members are impacted, facing heat advisories and limited access to necessities due to closed stores. We are calling on our professional network for support. Donations are urgently needed to provide immediate relief, including emergency supplies and power restoration assistance. Please consider donating to help those in need: https://bit.ly/3WeS6WR Your generosity and compassion can make a significant difference in our community's recovery. Thank you for your support. #HurricaneBeryl #DisasterRelief #VOATexas

When you’re going through a hard time, remember substance use is not the answer. Instead, #TurnTo your community and the resources around you for help. For more information, visit TurnToSupportsTX.org.
