Aid is still pouring in for the Central Texas community following Winter Storm Uri, and Stephanie OâBanion is happy her nonprofit organization is able to facilitate local recovery donations to area agencies.
âIt is hard to imagine another unprecedented event impacting our community,â OâBanion, United Way of Central Texasâ president, said in a news release. âThis winter weather crisis has hit our neighbors, non-profits, and partners hard and we will continue to work side by side during these recovery efforts to ensure the needs are met.â
On Monday, United Way of Central Texas received a water supply donation from Amazon with the help of Garland-based Spectra Cargo & Logistics â a donation that Cedric Brooks, a Killeen resident, helped unload.
As temperatures increased Saturday in Central Texas, many residents found themselves trading in one problem — extended power outages — for another — little or no water.
