Texas Wildfires

Labor Day weekend was a devastating time for numerous Texas communities.  Hundreds of Texas families have lost their homes, and four lives have been lost in these historic wildfires that continue to burn throughout the state. The level of loss experienced by our families, friends and neighbors is heartbreaking.  All of us at Texas Impact extend our prayers, love and support to all those affected by these fires.  

We also extend our thanks and prayers to the emergency responders working tirelessly to get folks out of harm’s way and to fight the wildfires.
