Arkansas 4-H hosting gift card donation drive for Texas flood relief

Posted

After the devastating flash floods that swept Texas Hill Country over the Fourth of July weekend, Arkansas 4-H is stepping up to help their fellow Texas 4-H members and affected communities by hosting a gift card donation drive.

“Texas has suffered immensely in the last two weeks after the flash flooding in and around Kerrville,” said Breanna Wade, extension 4-H program associate for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture. “Arkansas 4-H wants to support our friends in Texas through this difficult time.”

Wade said the biggest need is for gift cards because they are easy to collect and distribute. Helpful options include Visa gift cards and those to Walmart, HEB Grocery, hardware stores such as ACE, Lowe’s or Home Depot, as well as gift cards to gas stations and chain restaurants.

Those who wish to contribute should mail gift cards to the Cooperative Extension Service State Office at 2301 S. University Avenue, Little Rock, 72204, care of Breanna Wade. People can also drop gift cards off in person at the state office from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. All gift card donations should be mailed or dropped off by July 25.

For more information about the donation drive or to schedule a time to drop off gift cards, contact Wade at bwade@uada.edu.
