As the search and relief efforts continue for victims affected by a severe flood in part of Texas, numerous organizations and celebrities have pledged to donate to local charities.

On Saturday, the famed Colombian artist Shakira revealed that she would contribute a share of the earnings from her July 5 concert in San Antonio to aid families hit by the flooding in the Texas Hill Country.

“Dear San Antonio, our thoughts and prayers are with those impacted by the Central Texas flood,” Shakira shared on X. “We are donating a portion of tonight’s concert proceeds to Catholic Charities of San Antonio, who are offering disaster relief to affected families.”

United Services Automobile Association, better known as USAA, has committed $500,000 in philanthropic grants to help with search and recovery efforts and will activate employee volunteers to serve local communities.

“We are heartbroken by the loss and damage that our neighbors in the Texas Hill Country have endured. We are especially devastated to hear about the children who are still missing and we are praying they are reunited with their families soon,” a statement from Janice, Hannah and Cal McNair, the principal owner of the franchise, said in a statement. “Our hearts will remain with everyone affected, and in addition to our donation, we will continue to support the search, rescue and recovery efforts in the coming weeks.”

Texas Search and Rescue, a non-profit first responder group, is providing search, rescue, and recovery operations in Kerr County, which was significantly impacted by flooding. 

The Salvation Army in Kerrville, Texas, is taking limited donations and has been designated as the Official Partner for Volunteer Coordination and In-Kind Donations.

As of Saturday evening, at least 43 people have died and more than 27 young girls from Camp Mystic remain missing as search and rescue operations continue.
