Support for North Texas Storm Relief

CFT has gathered a list of funds and nonprofit organizations that are actively supporting people who've been impacted by recent North Texas storms and tornadoes.

May 29, 2024

Saturday, May 25 – Deadly twisters produced from several thunderstorms struck along the Denton-Cooke County line on Interstate 35. At least seven deaths have been confirmed and approximately 100 people injured. This is the deadliest in state history since 2015.

Tuesday, May 28 – North Texans woke up to tornado sirens wailing early after the National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for parts of the region until 6:30 a.m. In the aftermath, tens of thousands across the metroplex remained without power within a trail of damage from the high winds.

The following is a list of funds and nonprofit organizations that are actively supporting people who’ve been impacted by the recent North Texas tornadoes:

• Catholic Charities Dallas –  CCD Disaster Relief is offering a range of services to help those affected rebuild and recover, inlcuding food pantry services, financial assistance, and more. 

• First United Bank- Gainesville – has set up a fund to support families impacted by the storms that hit Valley View, TX.  (940-665-3484).

• Grace Bridge (Celina) – Accepting donations for residents impacted by the storms. Recommended items for donation include water, Gatorade, trash bags, gloves, and cleaning supplies.  (214-425-9423).
