Governor Greg Abbott participated in a volunteer appreciation event at the Dietert Center in Kerrville, where he joined Hunt. Fish. Feed. and Spectrum to serve meals to volunteers who assisted with rebuilding efforts after the severe flooding that took place in July.

During the luncheon, Governor Abbott addressed the volunteers, saying, “You are the heart and soul of the community. Whether you live here, work here, or eat here, you depend on the people here. This is your home, and we all have a collective goal — and that is to ensure you are going to be safe and secure permanently in your home right here in Kerr County. We’re going to be here every day, every step of the way, until we completely rebuild this entire region.”

The Governor emphasized that recovery efforts are ongoing throughout Texas for communities affected by the July floods. He recognized the contributions of volunteers as essential to rebuilding stronger communities and highlighted continued support from state agencies.

Abbott also thanked Hunt. Fish. Feed. and Spectrum for their roles in providing food and supporting local residents during recovery operations.

Other officials present included Texas Division of Emergency Management Chief Nim Kidd, Representative Wes Virdell, Dietert Center Executive Director Brenda Thompson, Hunt. Feed. Fish. Director of Marketing Dave Munroe, Spectrum Communications Vice President of Government Affairs Ned Munoz, along with other state and local leaders.

Additional photos from the event will be made available when ready.
