The devastating Independence Day floods that tore through the Texas Hill Country have had fellow Texans scrambling to support Kerr County and the surrounding areas. Texans have already shown up in a big way, but, as the Hill Country recovers, our neighbors need continuous support.

These local Houston businesses are offering generous donations through customized items, Texas memorabilia, and bespoke events to raise much-needed relief funding for those most affected by the floods.

Events

La Fête presents In Bloom, We Give: A Benefit for TEXSAR Floral Class
Each ticket ($175) includes a hands-on floral design class led by La Fête HTX, all materials and fresh seasonal blooms to create your own custom arrangement, and a beautifully-styled floral piece to take home. This special evening is designed to inspire creativity and community, all while giving back. The florist will donate 100 percent of profits to Texas Search and Rescue (TEXSAR) to support their on-going flood relief efforts across the state. The event will be held at the Montrose Country Club on Wednesday, July 23 from 6:30-8:30 pm.

The Plant Project presents Sunshine and Succulent Bar 
Presented by the dynamic Bree Clarke of The Plant Project, this three-day event will donate 100 percent of its proceeds to Blueberry Hill Farm & Rescue in honor of Eloise “Lulu” Peck, an 8-year old girl who died in the flood. For $65, participants will create a garden from succulents, plants, and blooms that celebrate Lulu’s wonderful life and the deep, unwavering love she had for animals. The event takes place at M-K-T Heights (600 N Shepherd Dr, Ste 117) from July 18-20.

“We love the memorial fund that Blueberry Hill Farm & Rescue has created,” Clarke tells CultureMap.

Stacy Snyder hosts Pilates With Purpose
Join the Love Is Blind star for a 45-minute, all-levels mat Pilates class, then stay for a community raffle and social hour. (Bring your own mat.) Priced at $35, the event takes place at Moonshine Deck (1239 W 19th St.) on Tuesday, July 29 at 6 pm.

“Every moment helps support our shared cause! Come together in community and support our neighbors in need,” says Snyder. “100 percent of ticket proceeds will be donated to Central Texas Flood recovery. We'll also have an exciting raffle preceding the class with items generously donated by local vendors. Every dollar spent on raffle tickets will go directly to support our chosen charity.”
