Hidalgo County C.S.A. accepts $25,000 donation after San Angelo flood deployment
Summary
The Hidalgo County Community Service Agency accepted an unrestricted $25,000 donation from the San Angelo Health Foundation in recognition of a mobile-unit deployment to that region after flooding; staff described a multi-week deployment that delivered services to a six-county area.
Hidalgo County Community Service Agency staff requested and received authorization to accept a $25,000 unrestricted donation from the San Angelo Health Foundation to support the agency's disaster-assistance program. Agency representatives described a mobile-unit deployment to San Angelo after a major flood event and said the donation recognized the county's staff and mechanics who supported recovery.
The presenter said the mobile deployment operated for about three weeks across a roughly six-county service area, partnering with local food banks and other community groups to provide front-line assistance. "They were impressed with that model of providing services," the presenter said when describing the San Angelo partners's response, and the court voted to accept the donation and authorize the agency to deposit the funds and work with its advisory board to determine use.
