Abbott to Present Flood Relief Checks in Leander Today

The cash aid comes from George Strait’s “Strait to the Heart” benefit for Texas Hill Country families affected by the July 4 floods.

Overview

  • The presentation is set for 11 a.m. at North Way Bible Church in Leander.
  • Gov. Greg Abbott will distribute the checks alongside Texas Division of Emergency Management Chief Nim Kidd.
  • Officials have not announced how much funding will be handed out at this event.
  • The money comes from a July concert and dinner hosted by George Strait and Tom Cusick that raised more than $6 million for the Vaqueros del Mar Texas Flood Relief Fund.
  • An earlier round provided $25,000 checks to 60 families in Kerr County late last month.
