CMG “Help the Hill Country” Relief For Texas Families

In response to the severe storms and flooding that swept through the Texas Hill Country last week, Cox Media Group San Antonio and Gunn Automotive Group have launched the “Help the Hill Country” relief drive to support affected families.

Starting today and running through Saturday, July 12, members of the public can drop off donations of personal care and hygiene items at any of six Gunn Automotive dealership locations in San Antonio and Seguin. The collected items will be delivered to Christian Assistance Ministries in Kerrville, TX, which is assisting those who lost homes and belongings in the floods.

Requested donations include:

• Shampoo and conditioner
• Body wash, bar soap, and lotion
• Toothbrushes, toothpaste, and lip balm
• Deodorant and shaving supplies
• Feminine hygiene products
• Baby wipes and baby shampoo
• Hair accessories, combs, and brushes
• First aid items and sunscreen

Donations can be dropped off at the following locations:

• Gunn Acura, 11911 Interstate 10 W, San Antonio
• Gunn Buick GMC, 16440 I-35 Frontage Rd, North Selma
• Gunn Chevrolet, 16550 I-35, North Selma
• Gunn Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, 1550 W Kingsbury St, Seguin
• Gunn Honda, 14610 I-10, San Antonio
• Gunn Nissan, 750 NE Interstate 410 Loop, San Antonio

Organizers encourage the community to “be a neighbor these families in need can count on.”

In addition to donating goods, individuals can also support broader disaster relief efforts by contributing to the American Red Cross. Donations can be made online at redcross.org, by phone at 1-800-RED CROSS, or via text by sending REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation. To support local recovery efforts, donors are encouraged to include “Hill Country Chapter” in the memo or designation field. Every donation — whether supplies or financial support — will go toward helping families begin to rebuild.
