Cougar fans donate two box trucks worth of supplies to Central Texas flooding victims
HOUSTON – Following the flooding in Central Texas, University of Houston Athletics held a supply drive to support the Texans affected and Houston Athletics made a concerted effort to support the flood victims for the second wave of support following the initial response from the community and partnered with Mattress Mack to transport the supplies to those affected.
"The City of Houston and Houston fans showed the power of our community after the catastrophic events in Central Texas over the Fourth of July weekend by donating 18 pallets worth of supplies for those affected," Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Eddie Nuñez said. "I cannot thank our fans and supporters for their generous donations to this cause. Thank you to Mattress Mack for helping transport what we were able to collect to those impacted. We made the concerted effort to send the supplies to support the second wave of needs in the area. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the families, loved ones and friends of those lost, as well as with the people of Kerr County and beyond impacted by the floods."
The local community, as always, stepped up and donated 18 pallets (two box trucks) worth of water, batteries, cleaning supplies, and non-perishable food items.
