So many of us sat in awe and dismay this week watching in real time the devastating impact of Hurricane Harvey and the resulting flooding in Texas and Louisiana. AACRAO, as a higher education leader, understands that this storm has affected many of our colleagues, member institutions, and students.
For this reason, we urge all AACRAO members to lend a helping hand however possible. For those who are willing and able, we have put together a list of organizations raising money for school supplies, food, water, blood, diapers and baby supplies, among other things.
Local organizations:
- United Way of Greater Houston
- Houston Food Bank
- Southeast Texas Food Bank

- Texas Diaper Bank
- LGBTQ Hurricane Harvey Disaster Relief Fund

Local organizations working to place evacuees and rescued animals:
Volunteers organizations:

Please consider donating resources or time to help those coping in the wake of this disaster, especially our colleagues and their students.
