Kilgore Community Mobilizes for Flood Recovery and Local Events

In response to the recent flooding in the Kerr County area, the community has established the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund. This initiative aims to raise donations for verified organizations involved in rescue, relief, and recovery operations. The fund will specifically support communities including Hunt, Ingram, Kerrville, Center Point, and Comfort. Contributions will assist nonprofit organizations, first responders, and local governments actively participating in these critical efforts.
