Thank you to everyone who supported GRTU’s Double Haul for the Coast program.
Since Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Texas one year ago, we have been working to raising funds to support on going rebuiling efforts through our Double Haul effort. Together, we raised $4,652.5. On August 18, the GRTU Board voted unanimously to donate those funds to the Rockport Hands of Hope. Six days after Hurricane Harvey made landfall, the Rockport Hands of Hope opened a donation center and they have been active in rebuilding ever since. They have managed an average of 150 volunteers each week, cleared hundreds of acres of brush, provided building materials and have directly helped over 600 residents. There work is on-going in Aransas, Refugio, San Patricio, Kleberg, Bee, and Nueces counties.
Help is still needed and if you would like to volunteer or donate, you can contact Rockport Hands of Hope at 361.727.9011. Thanks to all that supported our fellow Texans on the coast.
