#RollingwoodCares (Central Texas Floods) Community Efforts: Please Join Us

#RollingwoodCares is a temporary grass-roots effort aiming to increase coordination and communication amongst our various Rollingwood community organizations, as we respond to the Central Texas Floods.   

 

The City of Rollingwood, The Rollingwood Women’s Club, The Rollingwood Gentlemen’s Club, the Rollingwood Neighborhood Association and the Western Hills Athletic Club/Rollingwood Waves have joined forces to create a plan for our community to work together and focus our efforts across 4 areas in support of the Austin Disaster Relief Network:  Financial Donations, Goods & Materials Drive,  "Boots on the Ground" Clean-Up Day, and a "Kids Care" Drive/Community Bake Sale & Lemonade Stand.  

 

While there are many great organizations helping out with flood aftermath, #RollingwoodCares has chosen to partner with Austin Disaster Relief Network (ADRN) for 3 reasons:  They are a local organization, 90% of funds go directly to those in need in the form of gift cards, any excess funds will stay in Central Texas.

 

Please join the Rollingwood community in one (or all) of the following efforts we are coordinating to support the ADRN and those affected by the Memorial Weekend Floods. You can also find this information at: http://www.rollingwoodcares.com
