Champions Park Residents Invited to Join Local Relief Effort for Kerrville Flood Victims
As the devastating aftermath of the July 4th Hill Country floods continues to unfold, emergency responders in Northwest Houston are calling on their neighbors to lend a helping hand. The Champions Emergency Services District, which serves Champions Park and surrounding communities, is now accepting urgent donations at Station 11, located at 12730 Champion Forest Dr, Houston, TX 77066, to support flood victims in Kerr County.
The local initiative is part of a broader, region-wide relief campaign that includes Harris County Emergency Services District No. 11 (ESD 11) and the Spring Fire Department, who have mobilized their stations as collection sites for disaster relief supplies. The donation drive will run through Friday, July 18, and residents are encouraged to drop off specific items most needed by displaced families and first responders in Central Texas.

This statewide support effort follows a catastrophic weather event that has been described as one of the deadliest natural disasters in Texas history. Over Independence Day weekend, more than 20 inches of rainfall overwhelmed Central Texas in less than 24 hours, triggering a sudden and violent rise of the Guadalupe River, which surged 26 feet in under an hour. The flash floods devastated large portions of Kerr County, with 107 confirmed fatalities and 97 people still missing. Camp Mystic in Hunt tragically experienced 27 confirmed fatalities among young campers and staff.
In a public statement, Harris County ESD 11 expressed solidarity with those affected: “The devastation of the flooding in the Kerrville area is heavy on our hearts here at Harris County ESD 11. We, along with our community members, want to do what we can to ease the suffering.”
Champions Park residents and their Northwest Houston neighbors are being urged to rally behind this local response effort and help provide immediate, tangible support to fellow Texans who have lost homes, loved ones, and livelihoods.
