Trump signs disaster declaration as Texas flooding death toll rises to 70

World Central Kitchen, a nonprofit dedicated to disaster relief, is currently in Texas Hill Country, providing meals to families either waiting for news about missing loved ones or coming to terms with tragic outcomes.

According to Revonda Kirby, who manages community outreach for the organization, they typically address large-scale disasters. However, they stepped in for the central Texas flooding due to the heartbreaking loss of life, despite the absence of mass displacement typical in hurricanes or tornadoes.

Kirby noted that the group is increasingly aiding rural locations along with managing significant crises, like offering meals to war victims in Gaza. This shift arises as more tornadoes seem to occur outside the usual spring season.

Often as it’s doing in central Texas, the group contracts with local restaurants to prepare and provide meals. In this case it is feeding families still searching for loved ones and friends, stopping at hotels to provide food and distributing water.
