			<p>Hurricane Harvey hit the Texas Gulf Coast late evening on August 25th. Many residents need your help. Experts say the best way to help when a disaster strikes is to donate to charities that are experienced in disaster relief. The American Red Cross and The Salvation Army are trained to respond to disasters such as Hurricane Harvey.</p>
<p>"Right now the best thing people can do is donate money," said Katrina Farmer, director of American Red Cross offices in San Angelo, Abilene and Wichita Falls, Texas cities far from the coastline. "This is going to be an expensive disaster."</p>
<p>Please read below to see how you can help.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Arial'; -webkit-text-stroke-color: #000000;">Texas food banks are mobilizing as Hurricane Harvey aims for the coast near Corpus Christi. Food banks are an important asset during hurricanes, as they provide relief to families and residents who have lost access to food and water during the disaster. When a disaster is too big for one food bank to handle, such as is anticipated with Harvey,</span> <span style="color: #000080; font-size: 12px;"><a style="line-height: normal; font-family: 'Arial'; -webkit-text-stroke-color: #0000ff; font-weight: bold;" href="https://www.feedingtexas.org/">Feeding Texas</a> </span><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Arial'; -webkit-text-stroke-color: #000000;">steps in to coordinate with the state and other providers so that relief comes quick.</span> <span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Arial'; -webkit-text-stroke-color: #000000;">Right now, food banks are currently staging their inventory and manpower in anticipation of the need that will arise after the storm. Food banks are also working to assist local Red Cross shelters with food and other day to day items.</span> <span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Arial'; -webkit-text-stroke-color: #000000;">To get help for yourself or community, call 2-1-1 or your local food bank immediately following the disaster to learn about public food distributions and open agencies.</span> <span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Arial'; -webkit-text-stroke-color: #000000;">Once a federal disaster area is declared, Texas will also have the option to activate "D-SNAP," a federally-funded program that provides food relief through EBT debit cards. However, community leaders in affected areas have to activate the program. They can do that by petitioning Texas Health &amp; Human Services Commission at <a href="tel:877-787-8999">877-787-8999</a>.</span> <span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Arial'; -webkit-text-stroke-color: #000000;">Here is the contact information for all local food banks:</span></p>
