San Antonio, TX, July 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (San Antonio, TX - July 10, 2025) - When tragedy strikes, Texas communities have repeatedly demonstrated an inspiring ability to come together and lift the most vulnerable in the spirit of healing. Methodist Healthcare Ministries (MHM) is proud to continue serving as part of that tradition by committing $3 million to support flood relief and recovery efforts for those communities impacted by the devastating flooding that occurred this past weekend across Central Texas.
"In responding to this tragic event, we recognize the needs of those impacted will go beyond meeting their immediate survival needs but also beginning the process of rebuilding lives and communities that were devastated,” said Jaime Wesolowski, President & CEO of Methodist Healthcare Ministries. "We are proud to support critical organizations doing important disaster relief and recovery work, such as Light on the Hill at Mount Wesley, the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country, the Rio Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church, LiftFund, and the United Way of San Antonio. As they spearhead the work to address these needs-we pledge our commitment to support their ongoing efforts. Together, we can help advance the recovery for the people and places that are grieving and beginning the journey to rebuild a brighter future.”
Of the $3 million commitment, $1.15 million has been initially allocated to the following organizations to assist in their efforts to provide emergency housing, shelter, operations, grief counseling, and mental health support, as well as to meet any other additional immediate needs identified by these entities and other partners serving the region. The remaining funds will be devoted to addressing the ongoing and emerging needs identified by the community [MJ1] [VT2] as the disaster response efforts continue.
